This week, I visited the Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill to see the damage caused by Storm Babet.
As East Midlands Mayor, I will create a Green Growth Fund to create thousands of new jobs to support our environmental ambitions, helping Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire to become leaders in green technology and manufacturing.
Despite the damp circumstances, it was great to chat with museum boss Tony Butler about how we can better connect our local heritage and culture with new skills and training opportunities. Culture and heritage can contribute so much to the development of skills. From technicians to set designers from crafts and making to traditional building skills.
