Today, the Prime Minister announced a 'New Deal' for Britain with a speech in Dudley. By building infrastructure, cutting red tape for construction and business owners, and investing in our environment, I believe that we can recover from this pandemic and grow further in the long-term. The Prime Minister has written to MPs tonight with further detail on his plans, and I have shared the letter bellow.
It was particularly great to hear that the government has topped up the £25 million Towns Fund for Scunthorpe, giving us further resources to improve our local infrastructure.
For more information on the radical reforms to the Planning System, please read the letter to MPs from the Housing Secretary which I have also released.
