Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Oliver Ryan and Heidi Alexander

Thursday 11th September 2025 Commons Chamber

[Heidi Alexander]

I will talk to the Rail Minister and ask him to meet my hon. Friend. We cannot have a leaking roof in Luton station.

[Oliver Ryan (Burnley) (Lab/Co-op)]

The Padiham Greenway bridge has been closed since 2021. In December last year, this Government gave £280,000 to Sustrans to get the work finished, but there is a shortfall. The Government have given £19 million to Lancashire county council through the active travel fund and the capability fund to get this project online. Does the Minister agree that Lancashire county council should prioritise this and get it done? I thank him for his extensive correspondence with me on this topic.
