Wolverhampton North East MP Jane Stevenson, welcomed the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, The Rt Hon Michael Gove, to Wolverhampton yesterday after his landmark speech on housing reform.
Jane showed the Secretary of State the site of the proposed Investment Zone for Wolverhampton and pushed the City’s bid.
Commenting Jane said:
“An Investment Zone would be game-changing for our city and the Council recognises this. It was a great pleasure to welcome the Secretary of State, Michael Gove to Wolverhampton and speak to him about the proposals. I’m delighted he supports my campaign.
His housing speech focused on some of things I’ve championed for years, such as beautiful city centre housing to revitalise changed local economies and also to protect our Greenbelt.”
Commenting, the Secretary of State said:
“It is a pleasure to be here in Wolverhampton, it is the departments second home and Jane is a brilliant advocate for growth and investment in Wolverhampton. I can see why the case for an Investment Zone is so compelling.
We have here a beautiful location ripe for development and with the University of Wolverhampton we have some of those best equipped to deliver regeneration.
I am committed to doing everything I can to support Jane in this drive.”
