What are the immediate consequences of the UK government's decision to defund Western Gateway, and what specific projects are now at risk?

The UK government has ended funding for Western Gateway, a partnership of 28 local authorities across south Wales and western England, effective June 6th. This eliminates £1 million in annual funding and dissolves the organization in its current form. The decision follows the government's autumn budget announcement to cease funding pan-regional partnerships (PRPs).
