DEFERRAL OF IMPROVEMENTS TO THE A453

Early day motion 18, tabled 25 May 2010 by Lilian Greenwood (Labour). Signed by 5 members.

That this House notes with concern the Government's decision not to proceed with much needed improvements to the A453 road between the M1 and the City of Nottingham; believes that the resultant congestion and traffic delays are a restraint on the economic prospects, safety and convenience of millions of people across Nottinghamshire; calls on the Department for Transport urgently to re-consider the need for this crucial transport investment; and urges Ministers to consider the potentially damaging ramifications for the linked tram public transport improvements if key elements of the A453 upgrade plans do not proceed.

Signatures by party: Labour 5.
