Cat Smith Working for Lancaster and Fleetwood
In the last week I’ve met with the HS2 Minister Nusrat Ghani to argue our case for the new train service to stop at Lancaster. Regardless of what you may think of HS2, it’s important we don’t get cut off by losing that direct connection to London. I was joined by leaders from Lancaster City Council, the Lancaster and District Chamber of Commerce and Lancaster University to explain the benefits to our area of having the stopping point. It was a positive meeting but myself and the HS2 team have much to do in the coming months to put together a formal bid setting out the disadvantages of Lancaster being excluded.
