Here are the original South West Regional Funding Tables [on pdf].  These SWRA priority Tables 1 & 2 etc are as referred to by the 6 July 2006 DfT letter on funding (note: the only relevant DFT letter on funding).

Here are the Scheme Funding Tables [on pdf] after being 'refreshed' by the promoters, now all together on the same first page.  Identification of Table 2 schemes is now just in the colour.  Why have they done this?

Here is the similar looking, though differently coloured, merged Funding Table [on pdf] as in December 2008. The subtle difference is that identification of which are Table 2 schemes has now been discreetly omitted.

Here is the bright new presentation of the Funding Tables [on pdf] after being further manipulated in 2009. The difference here is that the identification of which schemes do not have approval has been downplayed. Also note that this luridly-coloured two-page SWRA file is a ludicrous 3MB - only suitable for fast broadband.

Observe progressive obscuration of the embarrassing fact that schemes such as the A350 Westbury Bypass came from Table 2 of second-rate proposals, which scored poorly when assessed.  The 2009 scheme table, confusingly called RFA2, now almost all involves road-building.  Public transport upgrades are being left out.

Wiltshire Council's A350 Westbury Bypass scheme does not have planning approval or government funding and its justification was implausible.  Yet the dud scheme somehow once had some well-positioned friends.
