Good to hear that the County Council have successfully progressed to the next phase of the Government's Rural Mobility Fund, which means we can now submit a detailed business case for improvements to local bus services in the County, including across Mansfield and the surrounding area.
Some really positive news that three chain restaurants are set to move into Mansfield, boosting jobs and dining experiences. Taco Bell, Tim Hortons, and Domino’s Pizza have made a £12m proposal to move into the former bus station facility.

I'm certain that moving the Council in to the town centre and filling some of the vacant shops with Council and Community services would bring more people in to town. Do you agree?
Today my meetings and discussions have mainly focused on towns, with a particular focus on our Town Deal and potential investment in regeneration across Mansfield and Warsop.
