After a woman was killed and a man is left fighting for his life after another serious crash on the A47 in Norfolk, Mid-Norfolk MP George Freeman says “enough is enough”.

Following the tragedy, near Dereham, Mid Norfolk MP George Freeman pledged to write to a Government transport minister to say enough is enough and stress the urgency for the A47 to be prioritised for investment.

Yesterday’s east-bound crash between Draytonhall Lane and the A1075 junctions and a second crash at North Tuddenham two hours later come as Mr Freeman, other MPs and local organisations are campaigning for the A47 to be fully dualled, and for other safety measures to be made.

Mr Freeman, who secured a debate in Parliament last week about the future of the road, said that Norfolk had waited for too long for improvements, and it was now the time for action.

He said: “This tragedy is a shocking reminder of the huge human as well as economic cost to Norfolk of the A47 in its current state.

“But this has gone on for too long. The A47 has for years been one of the most dangerous roads in our region and hardly a month goes by without a serious accident and tragedy like this today.”
