Deliver Flood Defences for Padiham

  • Tweet
Padiham

Not only are flood defences a key priority for residents and businesses across Padiham, who have waited far too long for work on the flood defences to start, but it is also something I promised I would sort out when I first got elected.

We're now starting to see physical work commence and I hope we can make progress quickly.
