When you put on a train at the moment, if its to late, quite often its because they are lacking staff. Making the industry work better, helping people get to work, its a virtuous circle if we can get apprenticeships sorted out. I want to say to the gentleman, who describes the problem well, the Cost Of Living crisis is exacerbating his housing situation, which is why we have got to make sure that people are able to do better. Its my, help make sure our Public Services are there for people, to help them get into good jobs and be supported, which will mean, as we build more houses, people can get access to them.

It was one of the signature policies of the Boris Johnson government to people here when it was elected in 2019. A report out today suggests that former Coal Mining Areas like here are falling further behind the rest of britain, decades on from pit closures thats according to the Coalfields Regeneration trust. Doncaster is one of 55 towns and cities chosen to get a share of the £1 billion levelling up fund just over 18 million its getting to transform its city centre. What does levelling up mean to you . I am here representing sd thermal, you mention Carbon Capture a while ago, it a company that is looking to do that, for me i have heard about skills and employment and that is why we are putting our effort as an organisation, i think having pace on investment, and encouraging private investment, and encouraging private investment alongside public spending is important to us, and i dont disagree with anything i have heard necessarily, but what i do feel about this area and the broader region is there is a lot of positivity, so there is large organisations looking to invest private money.
