Let Stephen and Boris know what you think, please take a moment to tell them here
Working as your Member of Parliament is a privilege. I would like to thank you all for your support and hope that you join me in welcoming over £300 million pounds worth of infrastructure investment I have secured from the government for our schools, hospital, housing and jobs in Stevenage and the surrounding villages.
The redevelopment of the Lister hospital is making it one of the largest hospitals in the East of England and a centre of clinical excellence. New schools are being built as others are being expanded and refurbished to ensure that our children have access to the best educational opportunities. Social housing is being modernised across the area, upgrades to our railway stations and investment in our roads are helping Stevenage to lead the economic recovery. Local businesses tell me that the measures introduced by the government are making it easier for them to get on with running their firms and take on extra employees.
I will continue to listen to local people and work hard to push forward with the changes that local people want. I look forward to meeting and working with many more of you.
Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, was invited along to help lay some building blocks of McCarthy and Stone’s new Lowe House Retirement Living Plus development on London Road in Knebworth.
Stephen McPartland MP has paid tribute to teachers in Stevenage and the surrounding villages as the new school year begins. Their hard work means that more children are gaining the skills and knowledge they need to get on in life with the number of pupils studying in Good or Outstanding schools locally more than doubling since 2010.
