One of my main priorities as your Member of Parliament is the improvement of local infrastructure, such as Junction 28. Since being elected in 2019, I have been working with a number of stakeholders, including Bolsover District Council, Derbyshire County Council, the local enterprise partnership, D2N2, and Midlands Connect to secure the necessary funding to prevent standstills, improve the flow of traffic, boost regional connectivity, and ultimately, turbocharge the local economy.
At a recent meeting with Highways England, they outlined to me their new design, which has an extremely high Cost Benefit Ratio (CBR) and demonstrates significant improvements to journey times, as well as a decrease in the number of injuries from collisions.
I am launching this petition to demonstrate the support for this project amongst the local community. The more signatures the petition receives the greater chance our application for funding will be accepted by the Government, so please share this as widely as possible.
This is a key infrastructure project for the Bolsover constituency and as local residents your voice is incredibly important. Please take a moment of your time to sign this petition by filling in your details - I would love to have your support!
