Simon Kirby MP for Brighton Kemptown & Peacehaven along with other East Sussex MPs met Highways England yesterday to discuss improvements to A27.
In 2015, The Chancellor of the Exchequer announced £75 million of funding for improvements to the A27. Mr Kirby organised a meeting in November with Transport Minister Andrew Jones MP and other East Sussex MPs, councillors and council officers to discuss the best way to spend the money.
All present clarified their desire that the money be put towards a large-scale, ambitious project to alleviate current capacity and safety issues.
Mr Kirby said: “As Chair of the A27 Reference Group, I was pleased to be able to have this meeting yesterday with Highways England to discuss improvements to the A27. We are working on a long-term plan to improve the road and I am hoping that these improvements will ease some of the pressure from the A259 in my constituency.”
