WHITE Mills Marina at Earls Barton was delighted to welcome local MP Stuart Andrew, 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. Once 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 weekend visit to the Northamptonshire marina, 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.”
Marina manager Georgina Wickham said: ”It was 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.”
