To level-up Southport, we need to further strengthen transport infrastructure. 

As a seaside town with a visitor economy, it is only by increasing our town's visitor capacity that we can truly unleash Southport's economic potential. 

We have some fantastic new projects underway through the Town Deal, such as a state-of-the-art events centre, and so we now need to work non-stop to make it as easy as possible for people to get to them from the rest of the country. 

That's why I launched the campaign for the re-instatement of the Burscough Curves, which will link Southport to both Preston and Ormskirk with direct rail links. I recently spoke at a conference about this work and, following on from the £37.5 million Town Deal, I am working intensively with Government to make this next project a reality.

I'm delighted by the progress we have made as a town since my election in 2017. There is still much work to do. Southport's best days are firmly ahead of us.
