Following the Chancellors Spring Budget Statement, today's announcement of Midlands Engine funding has been welcomed for its direct impact on Newport.
Newport Councillor Tim Nelson stated upon hearing the announcement that Newport will be getting a new £9 million business park "Newport Shropshire is ideally placed for new businesses and employment, with its key advantages of great communications, good quality housing and fantastic education. There are particular and exciting opportunities to leverage the close ties the town has with Harper Adams university, situated on the doorstep. Harper Adams is a National and international leader in agri tech and agri engineering, and the Newport business park is the ideal place to nurture the business giants of the future."
Another example of a proven investment record in Newport by the Conservative Party, providing a stronger, fairer and more global country.
