The Chancellor of the Exchequer Rt. Hon. George Osborne MP has been in Morecambe & Lunesdale today visiting local businesses. The visit started by visiting local engineering firm DST on White Lund followed by a walk around shops in Bare.
The Chancellor visited Abi’s Arrangements which is a new business setup by Abi only twelve months ago and then visited Catherine’s on the Crescent for a cup of tea.
Speaking in Bare the Chancellor said:
“I’ve just been to a manufacturing business DST they’re taking new people on and then if you go to shops whether it’s the flower shop or the café people are a bit more optimistic about the economy and that’s evidence that not only is the long term economic plan working for our country, but, here in Morecambe things like the Heysham bypass which David Morris campaigned for and delivered is going to really help.”
“We’re working nationally and locally to create jobs in this area and bring economic security to this area.”
David Morris MP said:
“I was pleased to welcome the Chancellor, DST is a fantastic local business exporting specialist products worldwide and Princes Crescent is an ideal high street with lots of specialist shops and places to eat.”
“Abi is a young lady who has setup a really excellent business.”
“Catherine’s café in particular will benefit from the Chancellor’s £2000 employment allowance.”
