Chamber calls for action!

This is the end of the beginning as they say. Government support packages have provided a degree of protection so far but now the potential impact of lockdown, social distancing and shaken world markets is looming - we need strong governmentalsupport for businesses and we need it now.

Our Lancashire civil aerospace firms, one half of the 4th largest aerospace cluster in the world, need proactive action now. Action to help them retain their skilled workers until the sector’s growth returns. We need Government’s promised levelling up investment to be accelerated - High Speed 2 and the Northern Powerhouse Rail investment to come now - together, concurrent not consecutive.
