Tens of millions of pounds of government investment in Devon and Somerset has been announced this morning.
The money will be matched by the private sector and will be used for a so called environmental futures campus at the Exeter Science Park, improvements to the roads around Newcourt on the Eastern edge of the city, as well as widening Bridge Road. Funds will also be made available to improve mobile phone coverage and for a railway station in Marsh Barton. Thousands of jobs are expected to be created across Devon and Somerset.
The Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership, or LEP, say in total two hundred and seventy million will be invested...one hundred and thirty from the government's Local Growth Fund and one hundred and forty from the private sector.
