Cash boost for Gainsborough Town

BBC News

The new funding we worked hard to secure for doing up Gainsborough's town centre was featured on BBC News Online today.

I endlessly lobbied the Communities Secretary to secure more funding for West Lindsey's plans to fix up the middle of the town and we managed to secure funding through the Townscape Heritage Initiative.

Shortly after, we managed to get a further £10 million for Gainsborough and the impact is becoming more obvious every day.

At the same time, I very much regret that the Government is insisting that we must have a mayor imposed on us just to get what is our due.
