Alsager Town Team Partner Bid

Fiona Bruce MP supports Alsager Town Team’s Portas Application

Fiona Bruce MP has given her backing to Alsager’s bid to become a Town Team Partner and to be awarded a share of £1 million of Government funding to help improve Alsager town centre. Applications for a share of this Portas money require the positive support of the local MP as a bid condition.

Fiona Bruce MP said:

“I am delighted to strongly support Alsager’s application for a share in this money from the Government and wish the Alsager Partnership all the best as they seek to obtain this funding. I am pleased to see the energetic response of Alsager to this opportunity and hope that Alsager’s exciting and innovative plans can spring into action.”

If successfully achieved, the application states, “Funds will be spent on equipment to enable and improve town centre events including the purchase of PA Equipment, a gazebo, a permanent banner stand for advertising, and flags to denote events. These will be used by the town team events and arts groups, and to promote activities in the centrally located Civic Centre.”
