Answer
Yesterday I announced that we have concluded a growth deal with the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire LEP, which includes Newark.
The deal involves £172 million of Government investment in the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire area, a substantial commitment that will benefit businesses in Newark and throughout Nottinghamshire. A significant part of this investment will go towards a new Southern Link Road in Newark, which will help to alleviate congestion in the area and create 2,400 jobs.
