George Osborne at the Fleetwood Fish Processors

The Shadow Chancellor, George Osborne M.P., visited Fleetwood recently and stopped off at the fish processors.

Mr Osborne, who was in Fleetwood with Eric Ollerenshaw, saw the plans for a new fish park and heard first hand the problems of this vital industry and the potential for expansion.  

Even in the recession an expansion could take place provided more modern facilities can be made available.  

The Leader of Wyre Council, Russ Forsythe, explained the hopes the Council has for new investment, but also frustration at the lack of a joined up Government approach, especially when it comes to the transport needs of Fleetwood.
