East Midlands Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said: “Keeping a steady ship amid an uncertain economic climate by not moving the interest rate yet seems a logical decision, especially with the ongoing Middle East conflict, but will be a frustration for firms looking to borrow at […]

Government ‘on Derby’s side’ but A38 works still in doubt

The Work and Pensions secretary has insisted the new Prime Minister and Government “is on Derby’s side” – but major improvements to the A38 remain in doubt.
