Earlier this month, Therese welcomed the Maritime Minister, Lord Davies of Gower, to the Port of Felixstowe. She took the opportunity to lobby him on a number of issues including ensuring greater resilience of the Orwell Bridge. Therese said: "The Port of Felixstowe and the successful movement of freight is so important to our national and local economy and bridge closures are frustrating for residents and businesses. I'm pleased that Lord Davies visited to learn about the issues."
