'Crumbling' hospitals, schools and courts to get funding boost

The UK government has promised increased funding for repairing and replacing "crumbling" hospitals, schools, and courts as part of a ten-year infrastructure strategy involving a £9bn annual investment. This plan aims to address maintenance backlogs in vital public buildings and inject life into the country's sluggish economic growth with a promise of £725bn in funding over a decade. While specific major projects are yet to be disclosed, the government plans to unveil a comprehensive map of hundreds of projects in July, potentially streamlining the inherited list to focus on a more impactful approach.
