Bishop and Spennymoor high streets need our help. We’re in line for up to £25 million of support. So I’ll work with residents and businesses on a plan. Bringing empty shops into use and creating more choice.
We need a bypass at Toft Hill. Residents have been demanding action for too long. Now we need to protect local people and children at Toft Hill Primary by redirecting traffic and HGV’s to a new relief road.
Jobs fairs help our young people get into work. So I’ll work with local businesses to hold jobs fairs every three months. That way we can connect employers with residents looking for decent jobs.
Our community sports clubs are at the heart of our towns and villages. But residents have told me they are concerned about future funding. So I’ll create community sports network, working with clubs and local leaders. Meaning more funds and better facilities.
