When Huw Merriman, the Minister for Rail and Regional Infrastructure, visited Bolton, I took the opportunity to press for more investment locally.
With the cancellation of HS2, the North West has been allocated £500 million to spend on capital projects. As he has the responsibility for regional infrastructure, I pushed the case for him to deliver Junction 7 on the M61, which would do so much to take pressure off our local roads.
