Engage with schoolchildren

Antony has been leading a ‘mock parliament’ tour across schools across Burnley and Padiham where pupils recreate the House of Commons in an interactive learning experience which aims to teach the workings of Westminster.

So far he's been welcomed at:

Help with the Cost of Living - Antony Higginbotham MP

I want to help with the cost of living as much as I can and so have pulled together the following information for those who need pointing in the right direction in regards to welfare support, household bills, travel costs or childcare. 

Get Westminster Focused on our Area

For too long our borough had been forgotten. But all that is changing.

Since being your Member of Parliament I have used every opportunity to bang the drum for Burnley, Padiham and our surrounding villages. And we've seen some major success.

Reduce Speeding in our neighbourhoods

I know how worrying it can be when a road is blighted by speeding vehicles, particularly when close to a school or in built up residential areas. I want to do everything I can to raise the issues with Lancashire County Council (LCC) for investigation but to do so I need your help.

Deliver Flood Defences for 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.

SECURING INVESTMENT FOR OUR AREA

Regenerate Burnley and Padiham town centres to reduce the number of vacant shops, increase footfall and ensure there is a vibrant mix of retail and leisure. 

SUPPORTING OUR NHS

I'm working to ensure residents across Burnley & Padiham have access to world-class healthcare by securing a new radiology centre at Burnley Hospital, and ensuring everyone can access a GP appointment when they need one.
