  Projects in the South West were not included in the chancellor's spending review on Wednesday.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the frustration among transport campaigners following the UK government's spending review, which they believe fails to adequately address the needs of the transport sector. The review, announced by Chancellor Rishi Sunak, includes a £27 billion investment in roads and public transport over the next five years, but campaigners argue that this amount is insufficient, especially given the sector's challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Critics point out that the funding does not match the scale of the crisis, with public transport usage significantly down and many operators struggling financially. Additionally, there are concerns about the lack of focus on sustainable transport options and the potential for increased car dependency, which could undermine efforts to reduce carbon emissions. The government, however, maintains that the investment is part of a broader strategy to level up the country and support economic recovery.
