UNITED FOR LEAMSIDE
One thing that doesn’t happen often enough these days is cross-party cooperation. Regardless of political colours, MPs have a duty to work collaboratively with colleagues from across the House to drive forward critical changes what will enhance the lives of our people.
The proposed reinstatement of the Leamside Line is one such area of bipartisan cooperation. Sharon Hodgson MP and I meet regularly to discuss the bid’s latest developments and what we can do to strengthen its case.
The Leamside Line is a vital connection for our region that would help to address capacity constraints on the East Coast Main Line and provide enhanced local connections to opportunities for employment and education.
I am pleased to highlight once again today the unified position of both North East politicians, business leaders and indeed the wider community.
