Renew and re-energise our high streets

Renew our high streets

It is great news for our residents and businesses that the Government see our potential and are investing in our area. The Government recently announced that Bognor Regis will receive £20 million as part of the Long-Term Plans for Towns. 

This follows on from the £19.4 million of  Levelling Up funds to transform Littlehampton seafront and provide for a new Alexandra Theatre in Bognor Regis. Those projects are now both beginning

Our high streets are the heart of our communities. With so many people working from home, we need to support innovative ways to encourage co-working spaces in town centres, build on our tourism and hospitality, and work with our businesses to evolve a range of high quality careers. Not only are thriving town centres important for our local economy - supporting local jobs and traders - but it is also crucial to our sense of "pride in place" and how we feel about the place we're lucky enough to call home.

Alison Griffiths knows how much we value our NHS. The Conservatives have invested in training more doctors, more nurses, and in more technology to help diagnose and treat us.

Stop sewage discharges. Support action on flooding

Alison is already standing up to Southern Water over unacceptable sewage discharges in our area by joining the Southern Water Forum with other MPs. The Forum puts pressure on Southern Water to get them invest in our water network. This issue is close to Alison’s heart.

Protect our pensioners

I believe in supporting pensioners by helping them keep more of their own money. So, to provide pensioners with dignity and financial security, in the next Parliament we will introduce the new Triple Lock Plus.

Standing up against inappropriate development

We live in a beautiful area with the sea to the south, the South Downs to the north, with flood plains and some prime agricultural land in between. As your MP, Alison will always stand up for the protection of our greenfields.

Pushing for investment in roads and infrastructure

Potholes and the state of our roads are the issues that residents raise most often with me. I agree. Walking and cycling are great for short journeys but most of us have to use our cars to get around - whether that’s getting to work, taking children to school or doing the shopping.
