Lia Nici - "working tirelessly"
GRIMSBY MP has Lia Nici has awarded herself a pat on the back for raising the national profile of the town.
Says she: "This is no coincidence - I have been working tirelessly since being elected to make sure Grimsby is as far at the top of the Government’s agenda as possible.
"Can anyone ever remember a time when a Prime Minister has worn a Grimsby Town FC hat?"
Ms Nici continues: "Whenever I get a chance to speak with the PM he is fully updated on what we are doing and what towns like Grimsby need."
It was a busy week for the MP, starting on Monday when she updated Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove on how plans to regenerate the town centre with a new market hall and a cinema are progressing.
Over the past two years, Whitehall has allocated £55-million to various schemes in her constituency.
But, as she says, 'levelling up' isn’t just about ‘buying stuff’.
"It’s a much broader policy to support towns such as Grimsby to be able to thrive in the future.
"Key to that is being able to support children’s education so that they can take advantage of the huge number of new career opportunities that are coming our way.
"I have taught tens of thousands of students in my career at the college and I know how scary it can be to consider doing a course or starting to learn something new.
"But the best way to a brighter future for yourself and your family is to gain new skills for a new and enjoyable career.
On Friday, Ms Nici was back in Westminster.
"There have been a number of bills I have been supporting,"she says. "These include new legislation to fight against animal cruelty, banning the use of rodent glue traps plus a landmark bill to support people who have Downs Syndrome in accessing the vital services they need."
