Mrs Elsie Blundell

Labour — Heywood and Middleton North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 June 2026

Debate

Transport Infrastructure: North-west England

Contribution

If we are to get Northern Powerhouse Rail off the ground and delivered, we cannot let valuable land that could create tens of thousands of jobs and boost the northern economy be used as a cheap option. What recent conversations have there been with local leaders regarding the proposed underground station at Manchester Piccadilly?
