Following longstanding calls and wide popular support from residents, the Treasury committed £9.9m to fund a new swimming pool in Fakenham. Officials in the Treasury have now been instructed to review this funding and there is a risk that this cash could be withdrawn from our town.
As your Member of Parliament, I lobbied the Treasury for this funding and was delighted when the Government confirmed, last year, that this money would be made available for Fakenham. Since then, I’ve been working closely with North Norfolk District Council and Fakenham Town Council to deliver the project. However, in light of this review, I’d like to hear your views and use these to show the Treasury the strength of feeling in Fakenham towards this project. Therefore, please do complete my petition below to let me know your views and I’ll ensure to share them with the relevant agencies as they work to decide on the future of our new pool in Fakenham.
By filling in your details, I’ll ensure to keep you up to date on this and will let you know the outcome once we’ve heard back from the Secretary of State.
