Government fund supports 75 businesses to revitalise high street

Local businesses are celebrating a £1m project to rejuvenate Stapleford’s high street

Through the Government-funded Stapleford Towns £21m fund, 75 businesses have received a share of £1m.

This initiative aims to revitalise the high street after the pandemic.

The recipients of these grants include Peak My Body Fitness Centre, Sewing Bee, Wake Cup Café, Millepede Micropub, Larry’s Bar, Rowells, Gurkha Nights, Affinity Dance School, and Little Driver’s Play Centre.

These grants have allowed businesses to undertake exterior renovations and enhance their storefront.

Interior enhancements also include enhancing accessibility, boosting energy efficiency, and buying equipment and furniture.

On Monday 25th September, a series of business networking events were held. This gave people the opportunity to engage with business experts from the East Midlands Chamber, Nottinghamshire County Council and Browxtown Council.

Darren Henry, MP for Broxtowe and Stapleford Towns Fund board member said: “It was fantastic to meet so many local business owners and hear about the huge impact these grants have had on their businesses. Stapleford has a great community spirit which was very much evident at this networking event and I have no doubt that Stapleford has a prosperous future ahead.”
