I met with the Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick yesterday putting the case for Gainsborough to get better funding.

We need to tackle pockets of deprivation like the South West Ward but WLDC also have well-thought-out plans for the whole town and its surrounding communities.

The Communities Secretary was very encouraging and urged West Lindsey to use the new Levelling Up Fund to apply for support from central government. I have been liaising with the district council to see how best to help.
