How does the UK fund projects?

The UK government collects taxes and then allocates these funds to various public services and projects, like this Local Growth Fund. This includes money for healthcare, education, infrastructure, and regional development. Decisions on how to spend are made by the Treasury and relevant government departments, often in consultation with devolved administrations.
