Mansfield MP proud of what Conservatives have achieved in the last year

Despite the unprecedented challenges of this year, I am really proud of what we in the Conservatives have achieved.

We’ve kept our promise to get Brexit done and leave the European Union, making sure we listened to the people of Mansfield who voted overwhelmingly to leave.

We have also delivered on funding for the NHS, delivering the largest ever cash boost and we have recruited more doctors and nurses, invested in front line services and upgrades to local hospitals and more money for cancer screen machines.

There are more police officers and a boost to local transport connections, such as the Robin Hood Line, in the year ahead as well as funding to fix 50 million potholes.

Sounds like progress to me.

I’ve recently been made a further education ambassador and I am really excited about how this can benefit young people in Mansfield.

I am passionate about making sure our children have the best opportunities in life.

Further education can be a really powerful educational tool and I’m pleased we’re going to invest in it.

Every school in Mansfield has benefitt ed from that and will get a further increase this September.

I have secured funding for our town centre, and have been working closely with local councils and stakeholders to make sure it is spent wisely.

The investment could amount to £50 million and I want to make sure we rejuvenate the town centre and attract more people to it, but also allow for opportunities such as funding for a leisure centre in Warsop.

The money has to help the whole of our area, not just the town.

As you can see, we are levelling up the district making sure we deliver on our domestic agenda.

I will continue to shout out for Mansfield and Warsop at a local and national level, but I am really enthusiastic that under Boris’ leadership we will see real results.

Supporting those communities that have been left behind for many years continues to be at the top of the agenda.

Ben Bradley is MP for Mansfield.
