We are working to a long-term economic plan that will secure a better and brighter future for Britain. Our plan is helping to create a healthier local economy and a better future for hardworking taxpayers in Nottingham.
Our long-term economic plan builds a stronger, healthier economy and secures a better future for Britain and Nottingham by:
1. Reducing the deficit so we deal with our debts, safeguard our economy for the long term and keep mortgage rates low. There are 8,605 more businesses in the East Midlands than in 2010 – a clear sign our long-term plan to secure a stronger, healthier economy is working.
2. Cutting income taxes and freezing fuel duty to help hardworking taxpayers be more financially secure. An estimated 126,623 people in Nottingham have seen their taxes cut since 2010.
3. Creating more jobs by backing small business and enterprise with better infrastructure and lower jobs taxes. 117,000 more people in the East Midlands are now benefiting from the security and stability of being in work than in 2010.
4. Capping welfare and reducing immigration so our economy delivers for people who want to work hard and play by the rules. 2636 fewer people in Nottingham are now relying on unemployment benefit each week than in 2010.
5. Delivering the best schools and skills for young people so the next generation can succeed in the global race. £20.9 million is being invested in Nottingham for new school places.
