Infrastructure is key to allowing rural areas like ours to thrive. But for too long Norfolk has been held back by poor transport links to the rest of the country.

That’s why I was delighted to champion the case for urgent improvements to the A47 when I recently met the Chancellor with other Norfolk and Suffolk MPs and Ann Steward, the PPC for North Norfolk.

Investing in the A47 in the Autumn Statement would help unlock huge opportunities in our area, boosting our local economy.
