It’s been just over a year since Boris became our Prime Minister and stood on the steps of Downing Street setting out his vision for uniting and levelling up the Country.
You may have seen me in yesterday's Sunday Express, alongside Lee Anderson, as we're urging our constituents to get out safely and support our local high street businesses.
This week I sat down with the Minister who's looking after the Future High Streets Fund, and I shared some draft proposals with him to have a look at before the Council submits plans.
Pleased to be able to share the results of my recent Town Centre survey, which shows overwhelming support for moving more Council (and other) public services in to the Town Centre, and for the creation of a Council Hub in one of the empty town centre venues.
Fantastic progress made for our town centre regeneration project!
The Mansfield-based ARBA Group has now submitted plans to Mansfield District Council for its showcase Stockwell Gateway project, on the site of the derelict old bus station.
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.
A positive meeting with the Mayor and CEO here at MDC where we spoke at length about what needs to happen with our £25m Town Deal funding, and hopefully Future High Streets cash too later this year.
