Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year! 🎉

As we head into 2026, I’ll keep working to make sure Blackpool’s voice is heard, locally and in Parliament, and to speak up on the issues that matter most to people here.

Here’s to building a better Blackpool. 🗼

Protecting the hospitality sector means protecting livelihoods, community spaces, and the spirit of our town. I’ll continue to press for government support in these areas as we work together on building a better Blackpool.

I made the case for increasing the level of business rate discounts for hospitality properties from 5p to 20p, and for freezing further increases in rateable values wherever possible. Without action, we risk losing places that communities rely on and value deeply.

These businesses are the beating heart of our high streets and communities. They provide good local jobs, bring people together, and help keep our town centres alive, yet far too many are being pushed to the brink by rising costs and unfair pressures.

Last week, I met with the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury,
Dan Tomlinson MP, to press the case for stronger support for our hospitality businesses and local pubs.

This week marked a historic moment in Parliament. It brings long overdue changes to workplace rights and updates employment law for the modern economy. Read more: www.chriswebb.org/news/historic-employment-rights-bill-becomes-law

Following recent discussions with business owners on Waterloo Road, I asked the Minister what action the government is taking to support small businesses in the most deprived wards of our country, such as those in my constituency.

I stand with the @cwunews.bsky.social and their members in calling on Royal Mail to honour the agreement made with its workers.
December 15, 2025 at 1:46 PM
To protect the future of our local, reliable postal service, Royal Mail must get a grip on delays, tackle the recruitment crisis and deliver fair pay and conditions for its workforce.
December 15, 2025 at 1:46 PM
On National #PostalWorkersDay, we should recognise the vital role posties play in every community, especially at one of the busiest times of the year. They’re facing heavier workloads and longer hours and their commitment deserves proper respect.

Thank you to every young person, parent, carer and teacher who has shared their experiences with me and kept pushing for change – your voices have made a real difference.

This funding can be used for two new schools or to expand current provision. It will mean more children getting the tailored support they deserve, closer to home, without months of delay or uncertainty.

I’ve been calling on the Government to fund more SEND provision in Blackpool – today, they’ve listened.

I am pleased to announce that we’ve secured the funding we’ve been fighting for, to support 120 extra SEND places right here in Blackpool.

Brian, Ollie, Tracey and PC Nelson shared how the Brunswick PACT sessions help strengthen community ties and tackle local issues to make Brunswick a safer place for everyone, giving local people a real voice in shaping their community and addressing issues like anti-social behaviour. 👮‍♂️

I’m launching a petition calling for a state-of-the-art indoor arena to be at the heart of the council's multi-million-pound redevelopment of the Blackpool Central site. 🗼

Today we honour the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life. The stories of those who served should never fade. We remember them. We honour them. 🌹

Throughout October, my team and I have tackled issues with housing, road safety and Universal Credit, and worked closely with Enveco, Highways, Blackpool Council and others to ensure constituents of Blackpool South are supported. 🤝

I’m proud that my efforts helped get this deal over the line. With continued focus, investment and ambition, we can secure even more jobs and future-proof our communities.

Really proud to share this personal note from the Prime Minister following months of work pushing for new Typhoon orders.

This is more than just a defence deal – it’s jobs, skills and livelihoods here on the Fylde Coast, across Lancashire and the UK.

Between reproductive health, pregnancy and birth and longer life expectancy, women are more likely to need medical care across their lifetime. But there’s a huge gender bias in medicine means women’s symptoms often go under-recognised or misdiagnosed.
