Peter Aldous MP for Waveney has welcomed the opening of the next round of Regional Growth Fund applications.

The £350 million grant which has been made available from the Fund to help companies grow is the fourth round of funding, bringing the total amount to £2.6 billion.

The first three rounds of funding have already had a huge effect, with £339 million invested in East of England from the fund, supporting 65,095 jobs.

Peter Aldous MP commented:

“I encourage all companies in the Waveney area to take advantage of this next round of investment from the Regional Growth Fund. The £350 million of investment will help businesses grow and could support thousands of new jobs in and around Lowestoft.”
