Following his meeting with the 'Levelling Up' Minister to make the case for Cheltenham, Alex is delighted that the Government has awarded our town £20m to build the Innovation Centre at the Cheltenham Cyber Park.
After much 'robust' (!) discussion behind with the scenes with Severn Trent, Alex was delighted to secure a commitment from the water company to end the decades-long practice of sewage spills into the River Chelt, and to invest in a major engineering upgrade.
Alex's campaign to improve the conditions of Cheltenham's roads has received a boost after Gloucestershire was granted a further £87.9m in Government cash to fix potholes.
Alex has welcomed news that schools in Cheltenham will be funded at their highest level in history, receiving over £3.5 million in additional Government funding.
Over 120,000 former offenders will find it easier to get work and turn their lives away from crime after Alex changed the law to significantly reduce the time people with criminal convictions are legally required to declare them to most potential employers.
I am delighted that the Government has awarded Cheltenham £20m from the Levelling-Up Fund to build the Innovation Centre in the Cheltenham Cyber Park. It is fantastic news, and the latest example of major Government investment in our town.
Alex was invited to meet with the team at She's Electric - a new local enterprise aiming to engage and empower women to make sustainable lifestyle choices, including making the switch to driving electric cars.
