I was delighted to welcome Ed Miliband, Labour’s Shadow Energy Secretary, to the Port of Workington to discuss the pitch laid out in my industrial plan for West Cumbria to double the Port of Workington in order to attract new industry to the area.
Major expansion of the Port of Workington is central to my industrial plan for West Cumbria because it opens up the potential for new industry and thousands of jobs.
I’ve been working with Ed Miliband to make the case for inclusion of Workington in the £1.8 billion Port investment programme promised by the next Labour Government.
Ed confirmed that Workington is in a prime position to benefit from this investment and I look forward to working with him and Cumberland Council if I’m elected to deliver it.
