Robert said: "I appeared on BBC South recently to discuss road safety and explain how the A40 upgrades we secured in 2019 will help to improve safety on this important West Oxfordshire A-road."

The full clip can be watched above.

In 2019, Robert helped to deliver over £100million of central government funding for A40 upgrades - the largest investment in the A40 in a generation. In total, £180million is being invested in major road and infrastructure improvements to cut congestion on the A40.

Conservative-led Oxfordshire County Council will deliver the Shores Green project which will improve access to Witney.

Robert said: "Local MPs and councils received a useful update from the Cotswold Line Promotion Group on progress in the campaign to upgrade the line.

Motorists, bus users and cyclists who regularly use one of West Oxfordshire’s busiest and most important transport routes have reason to celebrate today with the announcement of a £102m funding boost for the A40.

For decades, congestion on the A40 has been one of the biggest issues in West Oxfordshire. I have described the traffic problems on the A40 as being a "millstone around West Oxfordshire's neck" - hampering our businesses and causing misery for motorists. 

Robert has written to new Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Robert Jenrick, to express his support for Oxfordshire County Council's bid to the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF).

Robert said: "Earlier this week I met with the new Secretary of State for Transport and the Roads Minister to lobby for their support in tackling congestion on the A40, with a particular eye on the County Council's bid to the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF).

Robert said: "We've seen significant improvements to local rail services in recent years, with additional car parking provision, platform extensions, upgraded facilities, world-class new trains - and a staff presence at Hanborough Station for the first time in over 50 years.
