Regional GrowthContribution
The Mayor of the North East will now be able to extend the Tyne and Wear Metro, linking Washington with Newcastle and Sunderland, connecting those living in the constituency of my honourable friend the Member for Washington and Gateshead South, Mrs Hodgson, to new jobs and opportunities. I pay particular tribute to my honourable friend, who has campaigned for this project for years and years, and it is now being delivered by a Labour Government.
