Contribution

Tatenhill is a tiny village in the north of my constituency, but it has a big problem with road safety. Staffordshire county council has promised to install traffic-calming measures and even secured a developer payment in April 2022 under the Conservatives. The council committed to undertaking works within 12 months of that, but failed to do so. Since 2025, when Reform took over the council, it has continued to fail to do the works. There have been serious crashes in the village over the past year, including a car crashing into a house and another hitting multiple vehicles parked by the primary school. Does the Leader of the House agree that Staffordshire county council must stop dragging its heels, get its thumb out and get it done? Will he make time for a debate on the consequences for councils that fail to undertake work that they are legally committed to doing?
