I established the “Get Hyndburn Working” group, and together we are looking at how we can bring our youth hub into a town centre location and also bring health, training and education services all under one roof. Will the Minister meet me to discuss how the Government can support us to make that a reality?

We should all be behind “Get Hyndburn Working”. I am certainly behind it, and I would be happy to meet my hon. Friend.
