County Councillor Matthew Tomlinson, Lancashire County Council's Cabinet Member for Sustainable Development, appeared on the North West segment of the Politics Show last Sunday. He contributed to a feature on transport links within the North West.
Campaigners have long argued for the re-instatement of the Todmorden Curve a stretch of rail track which would considerably shorten the journey time from Burnley to Manchester. This was the main focus of the Politics Show report but as County Councillor Tomlinson pointed out there are a number of schemes for consideration including a link from Poulton to Fleetwood and the other Curve ...the Burscough Curve each with ardent advocates and only a limited pot of money. The priority is to deliver the best value for money for taxpayers.Top level talks have been taking place on how the Todmorden Curve scheme could be financed.
