I wonder how Ms Portas has been able to select which towns are the lucky ones: Perhaps Royal towns would be able to apply for Royal funding, and perhaps - rather than thinking all of SE England is affluent, the reality could be unveiled, such as in Chesham, my home town in Buckinghamshire, there are 600 families that are dependent on our Food Bank: I would have thought that statistic was enough to warrant Portas revival money for this town. The rich/ poorest gap is enormous here, with so many families living well below the poverty line. Perhaps we can be considered in the next round of funding please?
