London's local councils have expressed disappointment at the capital's exclusion from a £1.5 billion regeneration programme meant to assist deprived communities, initiated under the previous Conservative government and continued by Labour. This initiative, called 'Plan for Neighbourhoods', targets grants for 75 locations across the UK, aiming to enhance community services. However, London, with its significant need for investment, has been overlooked due to a methodology that limited funding based on population. Critics argue this decision neglects the urgent requirements of London's deprived areas.
