Diversifying the local economy and providing better opportunities for young people in our town is the key to Southport’s future.
That is the view of Southport College Principal and CEO Michelle Brabner, who is working alongside local businesses to try and create brighter prospects for future generations.
For the past few months she has enjoyed her role on the Southport Town Deal Board which in March was awarded £37.5million by the Government - the most awarded in the Budget to any of the UK’s Town Deal recipients.
It validated the strong submission which the Southport team put forward, with a range of projects that focused on future-proofing the local economy and providing new and exciting opportunities for young people.
The threat to the rail link between Southport and Manchester Piccadilly was revealed earlier this year
The Department for Transport has denied claims its plans to scrap a key rail link between Southport and Manchester have been called “undeliverable” by its own consultants.
The threat to the link between Southport and Manchester Piccadilly was revealed earlier this year as part of proposals to “improve rail performance in the north of England”.
All three options put forward for consultation in February included scrapping the direct link between Southport and Manchester Piccadilly prompting an outcry from politicians of all parties in the town.
