I was very pleased to hear directly from the minister that the Government is giving £250,000 to the Caistor & District Community Trust to help restore and revitalise 2-4 Market Place in the town.

This cash is more than welcome and will help transform the building into a new facility, including a restaurant and an event space to be used by the people of Caistor.

This investment from central government's Community Ownership Fund comes on top of the £10 million announced last year for the regeneration of Gainsborough’s town centre, and the nearly £1 million going to help bring Caistor Grammar School’s buildings up to a good standard.

I have fought very long to highlight the needs here in our part of Lincolnshire, and West Lindsey District Council have worked hard to. I am glad the Government is listening.
