Steve Double, Member of Parliament for St Austell and Newquay, has welcomed the announcement in today’s Budget that the Government will be funding the link road from the A30 to St Austell.
Speaking after the debate, Steve said:
“I am absolutely delighted at this fantastic news.”
“People have been asking for this road, that will be of such benefit to St Austell and the surrounding area, relieving pressure on Roche, Bugle and Stenalees while providing massive economic benefits and a more direct route to Cornwall Airport Newquay, for years. It is only under this Conservative Government, with me as your MP, that it has been delivered.”
“I am pleased that the Chancellor and his team at the Treasury have listened to the representations I have made, along with the Transport team at Cornwall Council, and announced the Government funding we need to make this project a reality.”
“I now await the announcement of a start date for construction and will work with all involved to see this vital part of our infrastructure for Mid-Cornwall gets completed as soon as possible.”
