Statement from Luke Myer MP:

In just five months under this Labour Government, we’ve started delivering real change for our region. Working closely with the new Government, your local Labour MPs have secured transformative investments and initiatives that are already making a difference:

✅ £4bn Net Zero Teesside Project – creating 4,000 jobs in carbon capture and storage
✅ £2bn hydrogen investment – establishing Tees Valley as a green energy leader
✅ £500m Hitachi plant deal – safeguarding skilled jobs
✅ Hartlepool nuclear plant life extension – protecting 700 jobs and powering the North East
✅ £5m Youth Trailblazer scheme – helping young people into work
✅ Community renewal funding – restoring pride across our towns

For too long, issues like rising child poverty and the future of steelmaking were neglected. Now, we’re addressing these challenges with decisive action, not political posturing. Together, we’re delivering leadership that builds a brighter, more prosperous future for everyone.

Let’s keep driving forward and building the future our communities deserve.
