Amanda Hack welcomes government’s £2.7 million investment to boost local transport in Leicestershire

The Government has announced a further boost to local transport that should give local people greater access to jobs, education and public services.
Another Cash Boost for Local Transport in Leicestershire
 
I’m pleased to welcome the Government’s £2.7 million investment to improve local transport across Leicestershire, part of a wider £104 million package to strengthen connections in towns and rural areas across the country.
 
That’s on top of last year’s £8 million uplift for better buses across Leicestershire.
 
Good local transport links are a lifeline for so many people in North West Leicestershire. Reliable bus routes and better accessibility mean people can get to work, visit family, reach shops, and attend vital appointments.
 
That’s why I’m disappointed that Leicestershire County Council has continued to allow service cuts in our area, despite receiving significant funding to protect and improve rural connectivity.
 
There are no more excuses, our Labour Government is providing the cash, and I’ll keep fighting to make sure North West Leicestershire gets its fair share.
 
For too long, other parts of the county have seen more investment while our communities have faced repeated cuts. It’s time for that to change.
This funding gives the County Council a real opportunity to deliver better buses and stronger connections for local people.
 
It’s time we got the services our area deserves.

It was a real pleasu

It was a real pleasure to speak at GoHenry’s Reception in Parliament, as the Co-Chair of the Financial Education APPG.

GoHenry teaches kids about money management and responsible spending, offering money management lessons that allow children to handle their own pocket money while learning valuable financial skills.

It was fantastic to hear that they have now released 80 of their video lessons on YouTube, free for anyone to watch and use: www.youtube.com/JustGoHenry/videos

This is such a timely moment for financial education, I look forward to working closely with the sector over the coming months
