Pauline Latham OBE MP raises case of Derby County FC with Culture Secretary

Pauline Latham MP's letter to Culture Secretary

Following the terrible news about Derby County FC going into administration, I have written to the Culture Secretary Rt Hon Nadine Dorries MP to ask for the Government’s support in ensuring a suitable buyer is found for our historic club – one of the founder members of the Football League and a true pillar of our community.

I have also sought a meeting with the Chief Executive of the EFL to discuss the difficulties at the club and request that Derby fans are not unfairly punished.

As one of Derby’s MPs, I know how much the football club means to our community, and I will do all I can to continue to support the process to find a suitable buyer for DCFC.

I recently met with local Allestree Councillors and attended a site visit on Woodlands Lane, outside Portway Infant School, Portway Junior School and a pre-school nursery. It is a very busy crossing point, made very much more dangerous by all of the parked cars on the street.
