Context
Morden town centre in Wimbledon is struggling despite its transport links and potential for rejuvenation. The Labour-run Merton council has failed to deliver on promises of regeneration, with the latest delay until at least 2027.
I am proud to have half of Morden town centre in my constituency. It is an area ripe for rejuvenation but struggles like many others across the country. Despite years of promising regeneration, Labour-run Merton council has failed to deliver. Will the Minister meet me to discuss why this has happened and what support the Government can now give?
I am grateful for the hon. Gentleman’s invitation to discuss the matter further. I will sit down with him to talk about why there has been little progress over the last 14 years and how we can support Merton council in revitalising Morden town centre, building on their current investment of £300,000.
