The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Coalfield MPs would like to invite you to contribute to an inquiry into Levelling Up the Former Coalfields.

The cross-party group, which includes MP from England, Scotland and Wales, is seeking to better understand the specific needs of former coal mining areas and what needs to be done in order to regenerate these communities.

While there has been progress in recent decades, many of these areas still lag behind much of the rest of the country.  The APPG is keen to hear your views and experiences relating to how Levelling Up can be achieved in former coalfield.

A letter from the chair of the group, Alex Davies-Jones, MP for Pontypridd, and a list of questions that the inquiry will investigate is attached.  We would very much appreciate your response to any of the questions that you feel are relevant to your experience.

Please send your submission to appg.coalfields@gmail.com by 27 January 2023.
