Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2026

Debate

Cross-border Transport Connections

Contribution

One of the biggest straitjackets on economic growth east to west is the “most-bashed bridge in Britain” on the A5 in my patch: the Watling Street bridge. There are plans to lower the road underneath it, but they seem to have stalled. Will the Minister speak with the Transport Secretary to see what can be done to get those plans unstuck, so that the road can be lowered and we can get Britain moving again?
