The Baird government has vowed to give more financial support to mining affected towns if it’s re-elected at the end of the month.

Deputy Premier Troy Grant said yesterday in the next term of government the program would be expanded to include all communities affected by mining.
Under the expansion Liverpool Pains Shire Council could also apply for funding.
