I promised we’d extend @My_Metro to Washington. Today we’ve committed £8.6m to complete the business case to deliver exactly that. This is a long term project but we’re getting started. I’ll build the infrastructure of opportunity across our North East.

Less than 24hrs after promising to reopen Leamside Line, Sunak scrapped this commitment. At #LPC23 I was proud to support calls to re-open the Leamside Line to improve connectivity in the North and address local businesses concerns around transport.

Washington & Sunderland West MP @SharonHodgsonMP says last week's rollercoaster ride on the Leamside Line - in then out of Network North plans - has actually raised the profile of the campaign to make it happen. £1bn-plus project but offering estimated £90m a yr to economy.
