You will all be aware of the national measures announced by the Chancellor in the Budget on Wednesday 6th March: fuel duty frozen, increasing the child benefit threshold and cutting NICs by a further 2%.
But you probably won’t be aware of the significant investment into South Suffolk in recent weeks:
- £250k received by Gainsborough’s House from the National Lottery Heritage Fund
- £103k for Hadleigh Swimming Pool as part of the Government's sports strategy - 'Get Active'
- £36k grant for the Royal Hospital School from Historic England to support their newly Grade II listed wall that surrounds their garden
- £29k for the London Road HGV Parking Compound
- £11k for Sporting Memories from the National Lottery Community Fund to continue their memory club and social trips
Not to mention the additional £107.5 million that has been ring-fenced for Suffolk as part of the Government’s Local Roads Resurfacing Funding, a new West Suffolk Hospital, and a brand new school building in Sudbury!
