GUARANTEE THE CONSTRUCTION OF PADIHAM FLOOD DEFENCES

  • Tweet
padiham

I guarantee the construction of Padiham's flood defence scheme, protecting businesses and residents from catastrophic flooding once and for all.

Padiham high street has seen a major uplift. But we're still waiting on the essential flood defence scheme to be completed - protecting people's homes and businesses

  • Government funding has been secured and the scheme is now fully financed with work already having begun.
  • I will deliver these defences as quickly as possible - to eliminate the risk to businesses and residents of catastrophic flooding.
  • By keeping up the pressure on the Environment Agency, I will make sure we don't see slippage in the timetable for construction.
