With the Government publishing their proposals to Level Up towns like Scunthorpe, I today invited the Secretary of State for Levelling Up to visit our town to see the progress we are already making and make the case for further investment.
As residents will know, the Government has already invested over £30 million in our area thanks to the Towns Fund and Future High Streets Fund. But I am unashamedly ambitious for us to do more.
It is safe to say he gave a resounding yes to the visit, and I look forward to welcoming him to North Lincolnshire soon.
