Paul meets Rail Minister to discuss Eastleigh's Great British Railways Bid

Paul meets Rail Minister

I was delighted to meet with Rail Minister, Wendy Morton MP today to discuss Eastleigh's Bid for the Headquarters of Great British Railways.

The competition is now open and I am now working with our local Councils and the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) to put forward a compelling and attractive bid.

Eastleigh would be the perfect home for Great British Railways. We have a rich history as a railway town and our transport links are excellent. I also believe locating Great British Railways in Eastleigh would help regenerate our town centre and bring well paid, highly skilled jobs to Eastleigh. 

This is an opportunity we must seize.

All Aboard!
