That money will be dedicated to improving local facilities, backing community groups, creating jobs, and making our streets safer and stronger. When I was elected, I promised to stand up for our community and fight for the resources we need. I have pressed ministers at every stage, argued our case in Parliament, and worked closely with local partners. That’s why I’m keeping my community survey open, and I am urging as many residents as possible to take part. I will work with councils, community groups, and local people every step of the way to see that happen.
