As your MP I am always keen to support local businesses and community groups. One of my priorities over the next five years is to build up our local area and high street, and so far we have secured £30 million from the Government's Towns Fund and High Streets Fund to do so.
As soon as the new Minister for Steel was appointed, I made sure to get in touch and let him know how important this is to our area. He’ll continue to hear from me a lot!
So I was delighted earlier this week, that he made it a priority to visit British Steel.
