Here’s the Recording of the important debate I held today on Transport Infrastructure in #Essex: https://t.co/dlX3KzrjT3 Covering delays to A12 road improvements & status of A120 investment.
Making the case for investment in the A120 between Braintree and Colchester.
It is vital that we secure the funding to upgrade this road, there are compelling reasons to do so as I set out in my speech yesterday. Here's a short clip from the speech: 🎥

This morning I asked the Roads Minister (@Jesse_Norman) about government support to improve the #A120.

Fantastic to have the support of so many parliamentary colleagues for the @the_a120 campaign. We are united behind the proposal which has a strong economic case and is a deliverable Scheme. We will be collectively making the case to the @transportgovuk and @hmtreasury
