Championing our Local Economy

Three historic sites are set to benefit from £8m Levelling Up funding from the Government.

I am delighted that Ian Watson has been recongised for his work with the Louth & Alford NFU branches and Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue on improving fire safety and training on farms.

In the first Prime Minister’s Questions featuring the new Prime Minister, Louth & Horncastle’s Member of Parliament, Victoria Atkins, called for action to help local people who rely on heating oil and have faced steep price rises in recent months. 

I had the pleasure of visiting the world-famous, local producer, Lincolnshire poacher and chewing the cud with owners Simon and Tim. The two brothers this year are celebrating 30 years as artisan cheese producers and what a success they have been!

I was pleased to meet with Destination Lincolnshire who are undertaking an excellent programme of work to promote Lincolnshire as the holiday destination of choice.

I look forward to working with them to champion our local area. 

Louth is home to so many wonderful independent businesses who contribute to the charming character of our town. I popped in to see a number of our fantastic shop owners at the weekend to discuss how to best support them as we recover from the pandemic and #ShopLocal.

I had a wonderful visit to the Playhouse Cinema in Louth recently where I met manager James Pickworth to discuss their recent reopening and preparations for the cinema’s 100th birthday later this year!

It was a pleasure to visit Tattershall Lakes Country Park this weekend to speak to Eleanor Nash, Deputy General Manager and the senior management team during #EnglishTourismWeek.

It was great to celebrate the start of #EnglishTourismWeek by visiting some of our fantastic local attractions, including Tattershall Castle!

It is great news that many local organisations in the constituency of Louth & Horncastle have received Government investment through the second round of the Culture Recovery Fund!
