'We can’t have cars parking all over the place in residential areas and we also need more pedestrian areas along the seafront to make sure the visitor experience is peaceful and safe – and an enjoyable one'
A Lancashire county councillor has called for clarity over whether some of the cash saved by axing the northern leg of HS2 can be used to electrify the railway line between Lancaster and Morecambe .
Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service in the wake of the minister’s comments, County Cllr Dowding – who represents the Lancaster Central division – said it remained unclear whether her vision for electrifying the route to Morecambe would be an eligible scheme, but asked: “If not via the HS2 monies, then how else?”
“It’s imperative that Lancashire County Council prioritises sustainable travel in the north of the county. So…I sincerely hope we get funding for these measures – and quickly,” County Cllr Dowding added. However, County Cllr Riggott said the authority already had “a clear idea of the projects we think can bring the biggest benefit to our economy, businesses and residents”.
However, County Cllr Alan Schofield, the Tory member for Ribble Valley South West, said County Cllr Dowding’s motion – which also pushed for LTF money to be used on public transport, walking and cycling infrastructure in Lancaster city centre – amounted to an “audacious and blatant” early bid for a share of the £494m set to come Lancashire’s way between 2025 and 2032.GREEN LIGHTS ALL THE WAY?
