William Wragg, Member of Parliament for the Hazel Grove constituency, has secured significant investment in two key projects in our local area.
Working with the Wharf Community Hub in Marple, William has helped secure a £200,000 grant from the Community Ownership Fund, which will help the community interest company to establish a new community hub in Marple. The project has also recently received a £10,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, to transform the former grade-two listed Wharf Warehouse into a community space.
Alongside this, William has secured funding for a feasibility study to link Rose Hill Marple, Romiley and Bredbury to Stockport Train station. This is a significant step to instate a service between Stockport and its neighbouring towns. This will come from the ‘Restore Your Railway’ bid, which aims to develop an re-instate lost rail services across the United Kingdom.
William said: “I am pleased to see that the Chancellor has listened to my calls. Each of these schemes will make an incredible contribution to making our part of the world a better place to live, work and visit.. I look forward to working with the CIC and rail groups in our area as we continue to improve our area and its transport links."
