Norwich Town Deal

Author: Chloe Smith, Updated: 10 June 2021 11:29

The Conservatives were elected on a promise to level up and spread opportunity across the country, and with this funding for Norwich we are delivering on that pledge.  

I am pleased that Norwich will benefit from £25m investment as part of the Town Deal, with extra funding also announced as part of the Chancellor’s July statement last year.  

 I believe that this plan will help Norwich continue to be a great place to work, live, study and create jobs.  It will help to sustain and develop the strengths of our city, for today’s residents and for the jobs and investment of tomorrow.  

 I am particularly excited that we have a major opportunity to accelerate the regeneration of East Norwich to create a new high-quality urban quarter...providing a base for the long-term growth of Norwich, and addressing some longstanding problems.  It opens up a positive future for an area that has suffered disappointment through the loss of the iconic Colman’s brand and many industrial jobs."
