I hate it when people refer to Corby as the 'Toxic Town'. I understand fully why this name has caught on - who doesn't like a bit of alliteration in their titles? - but it does the people of the town a disservice.
Some of the most deprived areas in the country were neglected under the last Government. Proud communities were starved of investment and left with weak social infrastructure. That’s why I’m thrilled that Queensway in Wellingborough has been selected for £20m long-term investment through Labour’s Plan for Neighbourhoods.
