The Illuminations will bring in 12 million visitors and £400m into the economy
This week, thousands of people will line Blackpool’s seafront as pop star Sophie Ellis-Bexter switches on the iconic Illuminations.
With polling pointing towards Labour forming a government at the next General Election, attention is increasingly turning towards what the party plans to do after more than a decade in opposition. Speaking with LancsLive, Mr Smith kept any promises vague and refused to commit to reversing the major cuts which have hit council budgets.View gallery Instead, he said the party would focus on growing the economy and giving local authorities more power and autonomy to improve their own fortunes.
The Manchester Withington MP said: “We need a much stronger regime to clamp down on sewage dumping so that our seafronts and our waters around the country are safer for people to swim in. They very often are but the message needs to go out there that the water is clean and the only way we’re going to do that is by clamping down on the water companies pumping sewage.
He continued: “We need to make sure that the rail companies deliver on the contracts that they have got and the Government have had to take in some of the rail networks back into effectively public ownership on a temporary basis and if that’s what’s necessary to make sure they’re delivering then we’re prepared to do that.
