LONDON. Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- An injection of more than one billion pounds (about 1.51 billion U.S. dollars) to boost the British economy was announced Thursday by Prime Minister David Cameron and his deputy Nick Clegg.
The new money will be allocated to local economies across English as part of a long-term plan to build a stronger economy and a fairer society, 10 Downing Street said in a statement.
Agreements have been reached with all 39 local enterprise partnerships (LEPs) in England to significantly expand nation-wide Growth Deals announced last July.
The funding will be devolved from central government into the hands of local authorities, businesses, colleges and universities to help train young people, create new jobs, build new homes, and start infrastructure projects cheap lebron 15 for mens , including transport improvements and superfast broadband networks.
In the statement, the British cabinet office explained: "Growth Deals are a revolution in the way our economy is run. For the first time ever, infrastructure, housing and other funding has been brought together in a single pot, and put directly into the hands of local authorities and businesses to invest with their knowledge of what is needed in their area to maximise their potential economic growth."
Cameron said local communities were being given the authority and financial backing to make spending decisions which worked for them, as part of a long-term economic recovery plan.
