Richard said:

The proposed Universal Theme park is very significant for Bedfordshire businesses and employment and, representing a £10 billion investment, is a major vote of confidence in the UK.

I fully support it going ahead as long as financial and environmental conditions are met.

As part of their public engagement, Universal are conducting a survey to hear the views of local residents and you can take part by visiting https://universalukproject.co.uk/ until Friday 3 May 2024.
