Phil Hope Launches Campaign for University

Phil Hope is calling upon local people to support his campaign for a university in Corby to serve North Northamptonshire.

Phil is leading the campaign to develop and to present the case to John Denham MP, Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills.

Phil Hope MP said:
"It is vital that we unlock more of the talent to be found among young people and those already at work in Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough and East Northamptonshire. A university campus built as part of the new Tresham Institute building being developed near our new rail station will help ensure strong and sustainable economic growth in North Northamptonshire.

"A university campus in Corby serving the north of the county will help to attract and retain undergraduates in the area, give local businesses a major boost and sustain the exciting growth and regeneration that is already bringing many wider social and economic benefits.

"I want every school, college and company to back this campaign. I want every school student and their family to back the campaign. I want everyone at work to back the campaign.

"Everyone can register their support online by completing the form below. I hope people throughout the town will show their support for opening this new chapter for Corby and the wider area.."
