Having finally secured the A47 dualling by bringing the then Prime Minister to Honingham back in 2014, it’s very frustrating that Mr. Boswell’s repeated legal objections to block the works have caused local people to suffer more accidents, delays, congestion and pollution. There’s nothing “green” about traffic jams. 

It’s great news that the High Court have rejected his case and I hope very much this isn’t now allowed to be escalated again to the Supreme Court.

We need to get on and dual the A47 for the sake of the hundreds of thousands who rely on it.
