Maggie Throup, Prospective Erewash MP and Culture Secretary Sajid Javid enjoyed a tour of the Duchess Theatre in Long Eaton during a recent visit to the Chatsworth Arts Centre.
Mr Javid was also able to explain more about how the Conservatives are backing the Arts with the Theatre Tax Credit when he chatted to volunteers, including President, Mike Beedham
Maggie Throup said: “It was fantastic to meet the team at the Duchess Theatre with the Culture Secretary Sajid Javid, to discuss how the Conservatives are backing the arts with the Theatre Tax Credit.
“This should really help some of the theatre groups that use the Duchess Theatre for their performances.
“In addition, our recently announced policy for employees of large companies and public sector organisations to be able to volunteer for three days every year should really help the Arts Centre which is so dependent on willing volunteers.”
