MP requests meeting with Prime Minister saying 'Dudley High Street is on its knees'
Dudley High Street is on its knees – that is according to the Conservative MP for Dudley North, Marco Longhi who was speaking at Prime Ministers Questions (PMQs) today.
Speaking at PMQs, Mr Longhi requested a private meeting with the Prime Minister in order to discuss Dudley’s failed levelling up bid – and how the borough could secure funding in the next round.
“Our high street is on its knees,” Mr Longhi said.
“Will the prime minister meet with me and Dudley council to discuss our levelling up bid and how we can ensure success in the next round?”
Bids were submitted to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) last year in the hope of securing £20m each for improvements in Lye, Brierley Hill, Dudley and Halesowen.
