Context
The government recently announced a UK-silicon valley project linking Oxfordshire, Milton Keynes and Cambridge but did not include Gloucestershire despite its growing cyber-tech and engineering sectors. The A40 is the primary arterial road eastward to Oxfordshire from Gloucestershire, currently a single carriageway.
Question
The Government recently announced a UK-silicon valley project linking Oxfordshire, Milton Keynes and Cambridge. There was no mention of Gloucestershire, with its burgeoning cyber-tech and engineering sectors. From Gloucestershire, our primary arterial road eastward to Oxfordshire is the A40 and it is woefully inadequate as a single carriageway. Will the Minister meet me to develop improved links eastward from Gloucestershire to the benefit of our neighbours in the east?
Answer from The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport (Lilian Greenwood)
Yes, of course.
Not addressed: Did not provide a specific timeline or commitment to meeting the MP beyond agreeing in principle.
