Darlington Announced As Treasury's New Northern Home

DARLINGTON, ENGLAND - MARCH 04: General view of Darlington after it was announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak that the town will become the Treasury’s new northern economic campus on March 04, 2021 in Darlington, England. The decision to create the Treasury’s first major presence outside Whitehall is part of the government’s so-called levelling-up agenda, which seeks to diversify policymaking and deliver opportunities to parts of England that are considered “left behind”. The Darlington campus, called “Treasury North”, will eventually house 750 officials from ministries including the departments for business, transport and local government.
