Cllr Clare Pritchard meets Shadow Housing Minister

Deputy Leader of Hyndburn Borough Council, Cllr Clare Pritchard, travelled to Westminster today to meet Jack Dromey MP, Shadow Minister for Housing. The purpose of the visit was to raise awareness of the housing problems within the borough and these were met with a sympathetic ear by Mr Dromey.

Clare said, 'It was a pleasure to meet Jack and discuss the housing problems we face in Hyndburn. Conservative cuts to the Housing Renewal programme have been devastating to deprived boroughs such as ours and it was reassuring to know that this is recognised and will be addressed by a future Labour government.'
