£10m 'waste of money' to revamp high street

THE £10m "facelift" of a town's high street has been branded a "waste of money" by its residents.

Erewash Borough Council has announced last week that Long Eaton's High Street will be transformed with money from the Government's new Local Regeneration Fund. Designs have been revealed which show the High Street would be entirely pedestrianised, with no more bays for Blue Badge holders available, while more benches and greenery will be installed.

Richard Ledger, chair of the Long Eaton Town Deal Board, named the scheme a "once-in-a-lifetime boost", saying the board was "determined to get things absolutely right".

'Only attend A&E when you need to'

\"The trust has been instructed to make over £93 million in cuts in this financial year. It's just not possible to get better services for less money. We call on our local MPs to meet with minister Wes Streeting to demand that the money is there to fund the health services we all rely on. Rachel Reeves must not try to balance her books by leaving the NHS short.
