This week the PM set out the Government’s Roadmap out of Lockdown. 

I’m sure that for you - as for us all - it couldn’t come too soon. Lockdown has been hugely difficult & damaging for so many households, families, pubs, shops & local businesses & communities. 

So, the news of a route out is hugely welcome. 

But it’s also clear that the longer-term damage and legacy of the Covid pandemic will require some big bold measures from Government in London and here locally to ensure a strong post-Covid Recovery 

That is why I was delighted to have been approached by Radio Norfolk with my thoughts on the roadmap out of Lockdown.

There will be lessons to learn from this terrible global pandemic, and it just goes to show how infectious diseases can damage economies on such a large scale, and how the vaccination programme we have in place is so important for that economic recovery.

Rest assured I am working closely with the LEP and councillors to do all I can to ensure Mid Norfolk gets what it deserves by way of financial help for businesses to survive and grow, and High streets to thrive for our future generations. This is a huge opportunity to re-invest in skills training.

If we get this right the post-Covid Recovery is an opportunity to embrace a seriously bold & ambitious vision for Norfolk,
