The Chancellor has announced that Bolsover will receive £15 million to help regenerate the Town Centre!
After years of campaigning, I am absolutely delighted that the Government has invested in Bolsover - meaning millions of pounds for the town centre.
The current plan includes;
- Revitalising abandoned buildings
- Improvements to shop fronts
- Investment in the public areas of the town centre
The regeneration of Bolsover Town Centre has been one of my main priorities since being elected in 2019, including creating the Bolsover High Street Task Force to help pull together ideas for a future Levelling Up Fund bid. Bolsover Town centre offers amazing independent shops, a thriving arts scene, tourist attractions and beautiful heritage buildings, all within easy access from the M1. But the town has long punched below its weight due to a lack of coherence in the layout of the town centre, a limited night-time economy, and a distinct lack of connection with its main asset, Bolsover Castle.
I look forward to working with local stakeholders to deliver these much needed improvements. Please email mark@markfletcher. org.uk to sign-up for regular updates.
