Supporting our Local Economy and Town Centres

MyPlan - Local Economy

As a local business owner and employer, I know the challenges facing the high street in Bury, Ramsbottom and Tottington. I’m backing the Conservative Government to deliver economic recovery so that local businesses have the opportunities they need to thrive and create good, well paid jobs for local residents.

I persuaded Bury Council to submit a levelling up fund bid for £20 million to regenerate Bury Market and the wider town centre and am leading the campaign to persuade the government to invest these monies in our area.

I have campaigned to protect important heritage assets such as the Ramsbottom Co-op Theatre and sporting venues like Gigg Lane to ensure they re-open and benefit everyone in Bury. I am working with Bury Council to deliver a town plan for Ramsbottom and to bring government jobs to our area.
