agenda for Lancashire. The North and Western Lancashire Chamber are

transport and infrastructure and skills. The Chamber are
looking for a balance of specialists and "lay" members in each
subject area who are willing to come together as a group to help

research, publishing reports, acting as the authoritative voice of
the Chamber, and calling to account decision-makers (MPs, local
authorities, other public bodies) in the manner of a Select
Committee hearing.
