The Tory MP has said the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill needs to give towns such as Aylesbury a better chance of 'levelling up'.
Because of this, he has implied Aylesbury needs to be able to compete on a fairer footing with towns in other parts of the country for funding from central government.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Rob said:
“Aylesbury is a great place to live, work, visit and invest. But it is no exaggeration to say it is a town of two halves. People in Bedgrove and Fairford Leys live longer, healthier and wealthier lives than those in Quarrendon, Southcourt and Gatehouse. We have entrenched pockets of deprivation where outcomes in education, health and income are far below those in other parts of the town.”
“For that reason, I firmly believe that levelling up must be for the whole of the country – north, midlands and south. For Aylesbury to flourish, we need to be able to compete on a fairer footing with towns in other parts of the country for funding from central government – we need a level playing field to level up.”
