&#160;
Over one hundred bikers attended a special motorcycle surgery jointly hosted by Peter Skinner MEP and the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG).
&#160;

Sites like Rochester Riverside in Medway and Black Rock in Brighton are missing out on valuable regeneration investment because a lack of Government coordination.
&#160;
Euro MP Peter Skinner is calling on the Tory-led Government to get a grip and sort out the mess surrounding EU funds for regional growth, which is putting £10million for the South East at risk.
&#160;
The unallocated funds are part of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), which exists to boost growth and jobs regionally, particularly in disadvantaged areas.

&#8220;This is further proof that the Government&#8217;s cuts are going too far and it&#8217;s a sorry state of affairs.&#8221;
