In less than a year, Cllr Roberts and Cllr Dwyer have been pushing hard to ensure Fylde receives its fair share of highways funding — and that work is now being delivered.

Springfields is a vital part of Fylde’s economy and one of our major employers. Thousands of local people rely on this site for skilled, well-paid work, and many more families across the Fylde Coast benefit indirectly from the supply chains and services that support it.
