Delivering the road, rail, cycling and energy improvements we need to see across the constituency to improve our daily lives and improve our local economy.
Mark Fletcher, MP for Bolsover, has welcomed £47 million of new funding for Derbyshire to deliver vital improvements and level up local bus networks – delivering cheaper, more frequent, and more reliable journeys for passengers.
Last month the Department of Transport launched a nationwide competition to find the new headquarters of Great British Railways (GBR). I am delighted to be backing Derby.
Since being elected in 2019 I have been campaigning for improvements to be made to Junction 28 of the M1 and ensuring we receive the necessary funding is a key priority of mine for the Bolsover Constituency.
Whilst I very much welcome the decision made by the Government to not bring HS2 as far north as the Bolsover constituency, the decision to keep safeguarding zones in place is causing a great deal of stress to hundreds of residents and is limiting the economic development of our area.
Today, I spoke in the debate on the Transport Committee's report on smart motorways, which highlighted a number of safety concerns, and of which the government is implementing all the recommendations.
Today I had opportunity to ask Andrew Stephenson MP to lift the safeguarding on land and property across the constituency following the cancellation of HS2b.
I am delighted that new regulations will mean all new homes, non-residential buildings, and those that undergo major renovation, will be required to have a electric vehicle charging point installed.
Last week I asked the Department for Transport to work with me to deliver plans to improve junction 28 of the M1 following over 300 local residents signing a petition in support of the proposals.
