Hide AdMr Higginbotham MP said: “I was delighted to welcome Amanda to the borough this weekend. Politics is a team effort and in Padiham we've been able to show what can happen when that team works together.
"Working with Government and the Conservative-led Lancashire County Council we're now improving the public realm and getting on with the flood defence scheme. That's exactly the same approach I want to bring to the rest of our borough, using schemes like the Levelling-Up Fund to drive investment and improvements.
"And with less than two weeks before polling day it was great to get the Minister to join us out on the streets delivering some leaflets in Worsthorne too."
