This morning, I was pleased to attend the Levelling Up Programme Board meeting at The Growth Hub in Mitcheldean.
I heard updates from partners at Hartpury University and Hartpury College, the Forest of Dean District Council and Cinderford Town Council, on how the individual projects are progressing.
The three project partners for the Forest of Dean received a combined total of £20 million from the government funded Levelling Up Fund.
The Forest of Dean District Council are in the final stages of planning, before developing the Five Acres site, Cinderford Town Council continue to progress with the development of the buildings they acquired in the town centre and Hartpury University and Hartpury College hope to have completed the construction of their new University Learning Hub by the end of the year.
I continue to be impressed with how effectively these partners have worked together over recent years and continued to deliver what they proposed in their original bid in 2021.
