Julie Wilson from Stonebroom, Derbyshire, got in touch via Your Questions Answered to ask: "What investment are the parties going to put into North East Derbyshire as it's still a socially deprived area?"
We contacted all four candidates to ask them what their plans were.
Green Party candidate Frank Adlington-Stringer said "North East Derbyshire and the entire nation will receive billions of pounds in investment each year" under his party's plans.
He said £100bn will be spent each year for 10 years, "transforming the economy and jobs ready for a carbon-neutral future."
He added the Greens plan to scrap HS2 and use the money to invest in regional train lines.
Labour Party candidate Chris Peace said the party plans to "invest highly" in public services in North East Derbyshire.
She said Labour will create more public sector jobs, have a fully funded NHS and properly resource social care.
In addition to this she said there will be investment in youth services including a free bus pass for anyone under 25 years old and a £10 minimum wage.

He said he has been helping to lead the Staveley bypass campaign and find a "proper solution" to reducing congestion on Derby Road.
"I am also fighting for further funds to upgrade the Royal Hospital at Calow," he added.
Image source, Janice DysonLiberal Democrat Ross Shipman said the constituency will benefit from the party's national spending plans.
These include a £500m investment in youth services, £35bn for the NHS and social care and a £27bn package for the education system.

Some screenings of the film Blue Story were temporarily pulled from a cinema yesterday after a stabbing there on Sunday evening, it has been confirmed.
A 20-year-old man was taken to hospital from Cineworld in Nottingham at about 20:15 after a fight. His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
A 16-year-old boy and a 23-year-old man remain in custody on suspicion of possessing a bladed article. The teenager was also held on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.
Despite some screenings being cancelled, last night's 20:45 showing of the Rapman-directed movie went ahead.
Nottinghamshire Police said there were no increased patrols at the showing.
The cinema had been showing the film around the time the stabbing was reported, but the incident has not been linked to the showing.
A Cineworld spokesman said they were "required by Nottinghamshire Police to close screens 9 to 14 during their investigation".
"However, this investigation did not affect our ability to operate and customers can still purchase tickets for showings of Blue Story throughout the week. We currently have no plans to cancel any of these screenings," the spokesman added.
