I have campaigned for improvements to the South Fylde line, serving Kirkham, Lytham, St Annes and through to Blackpool South ever since I was elected. We now have an active Restoring Your Railway bid to double rail services on the line through the installation of a passing loop.

I initially became aware of the shale gas industry operating in Fylde shortly after my election to be the Member of Parliament in 2010.

The proposed M55 link road is a project I have been working on for several years and one that I know is close to the heart of local residents. This has been a long endeavour, and I have been frustrated at the delays.
