Sarah asks the PM about Levelling Up Funding for Wrexham

  • Tweet
Wednesday, 20 April, 2022

Sarah asks the Prime Minister whether he agrees that round two of the Levelling Up Fund offers an excellent opportunity to level up access to sport.

Sarah Atherton, MP for Wrexham: "If you live in North Wales and want to watch international sports you have to travel for four hours to Cardiff or Swansea. The Wrexham Racecourse with its historic Kop Stand is home to Wembley-bound Wrexham Football Club. It's the oldest international stadium in the world and forms part of our Levelling Up Fund bid. Would the Prime Minister agree that round two of the Levelling Up Fund offers an excellent opportunity to level up access to sport?"

Prime Minister, Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP: "Well, there could be no better campaigner for Wrexham and for the interests of Wrexham sport. I will do what I can Mr. Speaker but she'll know that £121 million from the first round of the Levelling Up Fund was awarded to Wales and I'm sure that Wrexham has every chance of success in the future."
