The UK Treasury has screwed Wales again!
They've now classed a railway line running for Oxford to Cambridge as an "England and WALES" project.
This robs Wales over £300m+ whereas Scotland and NI get their cash.
It's a disgrace that this is still happening after the HS2 robbery.

Remember 2 months ago when Wales was screwed over by the UK Gov?
Well despite lobbying by the Welsh Gov the Treasury have refused to row back on their decision.
Therefore Wales will have to go into its reserves. This will not happen in England.

A deliberate decision has robbed public sector bodies in Wales of money while protecting those in England.

Whitehall analysis provides no data or research to support the government argument that environmental legislation holds up building
There is very little evidence that protections for nature are a blocker to development, the government has admitted in its own impact assessment of the controversial new planning and infrastructure bill.

"The 20 mph legislation in Wales cost approximately £32 million. However, it was estimated in the first year alone that the direct cost savings from reduced road traffic casualties would amount to three times the initial implementation costs (£92 million)."

Not sure how this is getting screwed or outrageous. It’s how the system works. The system - and this particular tax rise across the UK - also meant the Welsh govt got a £1bn windfall at the last Budget to decide what to do with.

It's a system that the Treasury "chooses" to use. That is the issue.
Also, the aim of the money was to make up the shortfall for public sector orgs. The chosen system does that in England, but not in Wales.
I think that is worthy of outrage.
