Nick fights for improvement in roads and train services

Trains and roads

Good roads and railways are essential for West Suffolk. Nick Timothy MP pressed Greater Anglia for faster line speeds more carriages – around ten per cent are still running short – and he will keep pushing for the dualling of the line to Cambridge. 

To read my letter, and the response from GA, see the first two links below. 

He also challenged National Highways on A14 safety and reducing diversions through Newmarket and local villages. 

They declined to act, but I will not let this drop. To see the response from National Highways to Nick's letter, see the third link below.
