Gordon Brown has been accused of attempting to bribe voters as new
research shows that billions of pounds of public money is being
diverted from rural areas to traditional Labour heartlands.
Official figures show that vast sums have been shifted from Tory-
leaning country shires and transferred to Labour-supporting towns and
cities over the past decade.
Councils in London are now receiving twice as much per head of
population from central government as their rural counterparts,
according to statistics from the independent House of Commons Library.
The government funding gap between urban and rural areas has grown
dramatically since Labour came to power in 1997.
More money has been handed to urban authorities despite the evidence
that councils in rural areas are struggling to maintain the quality of
their services amid growing pressure from rising fuel and property
costs.
