It was excellent to welcome the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, to Ilkeston this morning alongside the MP, Adam Thompson!
The new powers announced today will give local communities the tools they need to shape their high streets ✨

Every day holds something unexpected.
It might be a small chance, a bold step or the start of something you’ve been putting off - but it’s there if you’re open to it.
Show up with curiosity, give things a go and don’t overthink it. Sometimes the best moments come from simply deciding to try.

The forthcoming 10-year workforce plan for the NHS must treat universities as strategic partners.

That means joining-up health and education policy, embracing regulatory flexibility, and investing in the infrastructure that enables transformation. Above all, it means treating universities as strategic partners.”
