Chester-le-Street – Front Street visit

It was brilliant to get insights into the state of retail on Chester-le-Street’s historic Front Street earlier. Thanks to Keith O’Brien, local businessman, and Graham Soult, Retail Consultant, for their time and hard work in the area. Although there are key sites in desperate need of restoration there are also many local businesses at the heart of the community. It is one of my priorities as MP to ensure our town centres are thriving.
