Highways England A47 Parliamentary Forum

Improving connectivity in our part of the world was one of my first pledges when I began campaigning to become the MP for Mid Norfolk back in 2007.

That’s why I was so proud to play a part, alongside my fellow Norfolk parliamentary colleagues and the A47 Alliance, in securing the £300 million required for the first phase of A47 dualling and improvement schemes – which include the crucial North Tuddenham-Easton stretch.

I was pleased to join Highways England’s A47 Parliamentary Forum this past Friday to receive an update on how the works are progressing, and to continue our efforts to now lobby hard for full dualling of this key route. Full dualling is imperative if we are to improve safety and ensure that Norfolk has the 21st century transport system it deserves. Only then can we unlock the true economic potential of our great county.

Rest assured, I will continue to actively campaign on this issue in the coming months.
