White Mills Marina at Earls Barton welcomed local MP Rt. Hon Stuart Andrew at the weekend who visited the family run business as part of a constituency fact finding tour.
Of course, no official visit would be complete without a ribbon cutting ceremony, so White Mills arranged for Stuart to officially mark the start of the Marina’s Phase 3 development by doing the honours and cutting a ribbon. One complete, Phase 3 will see the creation of a dedicated boaters community hub that will include new showers and toilets as well as a reception area overlooking the marina where boaters can socialise and relax.
Reflecting on his visit Stuart said: “It was a real pleasure to visit White Mills and see how busy the boathouse cafe was with lots of people enjoying the sunshine. The improvements currently being carried out to the communal spaces at the Marina will ensure it continues to benefit visitors for years to come.”
Commenting Marina Manager Georgina Wickham said: ”It was really lovely of Stuart to come and visit, it was clear he was genuinely interested in finding out more about small, family run, rural businesses like White Mills. Hopefully he will come and see us again once the extension is completed.”
