Alexander Stafford MP has virtual meeting with PM Boris Johnson
  • Alexander Stafford MP, a strong advocate for the Levelling Up Fund in Rother Valley, met Prime Minister Boris Johnson virtually to discuss the fund, his vision for Rother Valley and working with the Local Authority to secure this £20 million
  • Prime Minister Boris Johnson has classified Rotherham as a priority one area, meaning Rother Valley is in a prime position to take this money
  • PM stressed importance of Local Authority in securing the bid, impressing on Rother Valley MP Alexander that Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (RMBC) must pull together a strong bid

 

Alexander Stafford, local Member of Parliament for Rother Valley, took his fight to level up his constituency right to the very top today in a virtual meeting with the Prime Minister to discuss the fund.

PM Boris has restated his decision to classify Rotherham as a top priority area to receive £20 million from the £4.3 billion fund and urged Alexander to keep working with Local Authorities, who must submit a strong bid in order to be successful. 

Commenting, Alexander said:

Today I had a productive and fruitful discussion with the Prime Minister to discuss the Levelling Up Fund, and the tremendous positive impact it could have in Rother Valley. 

He was very clear to me that RMBC must grab this unique opportunity with both hands and submit a strong bid that champions a local infrastructure project to safeguard our future.

I am of course keen to work with RMBC to help identify local projects that could benefit from this grant funding and put together a successful bid, but I believe this is a once in a generation opportunity to rejuvenate our local High Streets.

However, I also want to hear from Rother Valley residents directly to find out where you would most like this investment to go, so please let me know by filling out this very short form on my website
