Urban Programme In The North West

EDM number 1109 in 1992-93, proposed by Peter L Pike on 16/12/1992.

That this House regrets that the cost of non-approval of new schemes for the 1993-94 urban programme to the programme authorities in the North West, namely Blackburn, Bolton, Barnsley, Halton, Knowsley, Manchester, Oldham, Preston, Salford and Wigan, is ú27,156,000. which is equal, in the D.O.E. standard urban programme output measures, to 72 factory workshops not being built, 5,680 jobs not being created or preserved, 143 new businesses not being able to start, 3.7 hectares of land not being improved, 669 firms not getting grants or loans, 14,056 training places not being provided, and 34,395 volunteer hours being lost; notes that this has a drastic and unacceptable impact on areas designated by the Government's own criteria as deprived areas, fails to allow for transition for existing time expired schemes and has a devastating effect on many of the voluntary organisations in these deprived areas and puts the local authorities in a situation where essential work for regeneration and tackling deprivation is put in jeopardy; and therefore calls on the Government to look again at the urban programme and ensure that these areas have more, not less, resources to tackle the many problems they face.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
