Five years ago, I was delighted to secure more than £23 million of Conservative government investment in our coastline. That investment has built the state of the art new swimming pool, gym and sports facilities in Mablethorpe, the health centre at the Campus for Future Living, the magnificent refurbished Colonnades in Sutton and conserved our coastline with the new nature reserve.
I am therefore pleased that Mablethorpe will continue to benefit from further funding of up to £20million over ten years as part of this Government’s Pride in Place Programme.
We must take this opportunity to build on these successes. If this funding is to have any real impact, the money must continue to be invested in projects that local people need and want, not ideas created on a spreadsheet in Whitehall or Lincoln.
I therefore would like to hear from local residents how they would like this funding to be invested.
The Government has said that the priorities for this funding is “to build stronger communities, to create thriving places and to empower people to take back control.”
Let me know your ideas for projects that will help achieve this and I will press Ministers to listen. You can contact me at [email protected] with these
