Road and Rail Upgrades - Funding Announcement

Today the Department for Transport announced major new funding for road and rail upgrades across the country, including critical improvements to the A12 here in Suffolk Coastal. This is something I’ve raised repeatedly in Westminster.

I met recently with Lilian Greenwood MP, Minister for Future of Roads at the Department for Transport, to press the case for investment in our rural roads - including the A12. The Government is backing East Suffolk with this investment, and helping to unlock a bottleneck on the east coast. East Suffolk is the engine that drives our rural economy, and this investment is critical to keep people, tourists, and businesses going.
