 Roger welcomes £300 million science park at Emersons Green
A government grant of £10 million has enabled work to start on the £300 million science park at Emersons Green. The building of SPark will be a huge economic boost to our area, creating 6,000 new jobs.
The investment will create one of the UK’s biggest science parks, creating more high-tech and ancillary jobs and boosting the local economy, by building on our strengths.
Roger said:
“The South West Regional Development Agency, the local universities and all other partners involved should be congratulated. They have worked very hard to get this project moving. This additional government funding is just what’s needed to help secure the economic recovery.
“We must now urgently re-examine the case for the M4 Link. The idea of a link road from a new junction on the M4 to the Avon Ring Road at Emersons Green has been discussed for years. SPark makes this even more necessary.”

Roger said: "Being treated with dignity is a basic human right, not an optional extra. Everyone receiving care deserves to be treated as an individual and to be given choice, control and a sense of purpose in their lives, whether at home, in hospital, in a care home, or in any other setting." 26 February 2010...
