I am delighted to see Stoke-on-Trent Station will be receiving tens of millions of pounds to help upgrade the station and improve some local bus services.
The money came from the Transforming Cities Fund, and whilst I am slightly disappointed we didn’t get the full ask which would seen money to improve Longport Station, it is still a huge investment from the government who are committed to the levelling up agenda.
I will continue to lobby the Department for Transport for funding to upgrade Longport Station and continue to pressure for the delivery of the Stoke-Leek line.
