Robert Lobbies New Transport Secretary on A40 Congestion

Shapps

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).

"Also took the opportunity to stress the need for further redoubling of the Cotswold Line and the importance of delivering the B4044 Community Path to improve active travel in our area. I have subsequently written to the Secretary of State to stress the need for action."

Making West Oxfordshire's Railways Fit for the Future

People across West Oxfordshire rely on our railways to get to work and to visit family and friends.  With heavy congestion on our main roads, it is essential that we have railways that are fit for the future and a transport system that keeps us moving.

Better Roads, Trains & Buses

Our community needs a better transport system, from trains and buses to roads and cycling.  Living in Bladon, I know first-hand that that congestion on the A40 is a daily issue for many of us, and we need reliable public transport to provide a realistic alternative.
