Tamworth’ MP tells PM of BMW’s Plans to Bring Almost 100 New Jobs to Town

Thursday, March 20th, 2014

At Prime Minister’s question time in the House of Commons yesterday, local MP Christopher Pincher, informed the House of the news that BMW it is coming to Tamworth and bringing with it 100 skilled new jobs.

Mr Pincher also asked the Prime Minister if the next time he is in the midlands he will come to Tamworth and commend our local enterprise partnership and Tamworth borough council for helping to deliver our long-term economic plan and make Tamworth the place in the midlands to do business.

Christopher Pincher said, “This week, BMW announced that it is coming to Tamworth and bringing with it 100 skilled new jobs. That is on top of the hundreds of new jobs that are already in the pipeline.

“When my right hon. Friend is next in the midlands, which is the manufacturing heart of our country, will he drop into Tamworth and commend our local enterprise partnership and Tamworth borough council for helping to deliver our long-term economic plan and make Tamworth the place in the midlands to do business?”

Mr Cameron replied, “I am always delighted to visit Tamworth, not least to pay homage to the statue of Sir Robert Peel. I would be happy to go back and do that.

“What my hon. Friend says about the manufacturing revival is important, because we really can see it now in the west midlands, with the news from Jaguar Land Rover, the new engine plant that is opening up, and also what he says about BMW.

“One in four BMWs, I think, now has a British-made engine. That is great news for what we want to see: more jobs making things, more jobs exporting things, and a manufacturing revival in the UK.”

BMW’s plans to build a purpose-built luxury dealership, service workshops and parts centre and create almost 100 jobs at Cardinal Point, part of the Ventura Park Employment Area, were given the go-ahead by Tamworth Borough Council’s Planning Committee on 11th February.

Message from George Osborne

Yesterday I set out my Budget for building a resilient economy.

It is part of our long-term economic plan – a plan that is delivering economic security for families up and down the country.

We have come a long way. The independent forecasts show growth is up, jobs are up, and the deficit is down. But the job is far from done. I haven’t shied away from telling the British people about the difficult decisions we face. And just because things are getting better now, I haven’t shied away from it today either.

The deficit is down by a third, and in the coming year it will be down by a half. But it is still one of the highest in the world – so we are taking action to bring the deficit down further.

Investment and exports are up. But we’ve got twenty years of catching up to do – so I have backed businesses who invest and export.

Manufacturing halved under Labour, with all bets on the City of London. But manufacturing is growing again, and jobs are being created across the country – and we’re doing everything we can to support that.

And while as a nation we’re getting on top of our debts, for many decades Britain has borrowed too much and saved too little. So today, I have made sure hardworking people keep more of what they earn – and of what they save. Support for savers is at the centre of this Budget.

With the help of the British people we’re turning the economy around. Our goal is economic security for the families of Britain – and today, with this Budget, we take another step towards it.

On Saturday, I hope you will help spread this message and get involved in one of our Campaign Action Days across the country – click here to find out more.

Thanks,
