A46 campaign continues

Nottinghamshire MPs struggle to get improvements made to the A46 continues in a cross-party effort. Hucknall Today quotes Paddy Tipping as follows:

"I had an informal discussion with Stephen Ladyman following the debate.

"He convened a meeting with officials to look at the budget position of the A46. He accepts that there is a problem and is talking to officials about a variety of ways forward.I'm confident he is taking the matter seriously and hopeful that we'll get a reasonable outcome.

"I use the A46 a lot and it is a very dangerous road with a bad accident record.
The whole of the rest of the road has been upgraded and it just makes sense to do this."
