Disappointment was felt across South Yorkshire last week as the region missed out on key funding packages in the Chancellor\u2019s budget announcement.<\/p>\n

Leeds was chosen as the home for a new infrastructure bank, while Darlington was selected as the new base for the treasury \u2013 but there was little in the announcement for South Yorkshire.<\/p>\n

A particular source of frustration was the news that Doncaster Sheffield Airport had lost its bid to become a Freeport.<\/p>\n

Doncaster councillor Bill Mordue said the government was failing to level up the North and that Freeport status would have driven investment and regenerated South Yorkshire\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cFrom a South Yorkshire perspective, there was little evidence of the levelling up agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe missing out on the Freeport is a huge blow for everyone who put a huge amount of work into the bid and it would have created a large number of jobs for Doncaster residents and for neighbouring areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chancellor\u2019s towns fund also received criticism. The package was designed to regenerate areas of deprivation, but 40 of the 45 towns selected for funding were represented by Conservative MPs.<\/p>\n

Rishi Sunak\u2019s own constituency in Richmond received part of the funding, while areas in Barnsley were overlooked.<\/p>\n

Dan Jarvis, MP for Barnsley Central and Mayor of Sheffield City Region said: \u201cIt beggars belief that Rishi Sunak\u2019s Richmond constituency is considered to be in greater need of levelling up investment than Barnsley and Sheffield.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Dan Jarvis is MP for Barnsley Central and Mayor of the Sheffield City Region.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s yet again proof that this government\u2019s actions are levelling down our communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m calling on the Treasury to publish their allocation formula as a matter of urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not far from South Yorkshire, in the Conservative seat of Mansfield, MP Ben Bradley was awarded \u00a312 million from the town’s fund.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe\u2019ve been talking for a long time about getting some capital investment to regenerate things. \u00a312 million doesn\u2019t fix everything, but it\u2019s a good start on that road to be able to put some projects in place.\u201d<\/p>\n
