MPs to lobby Transport Minister over Immingham Bypass pledge

MP Martin Vickers

NORTH East Lincolnshire MPs are to meet with Transport Minister Norman Baker next month to discuss funding options for the proposed Immingham Bypass.

As previously reported, the A18-A180 link road is on a list of 22 projects for which local authorities will have to bid for a share of a £600 million pot of Government funding.

The news was announced last month during the Coalition Government's Transport Statement, in which it was also revealed that the planned upgrade to the A160 would be delayed until at least 2015.

Cleethorpes MP Martin Vickers said Transport Secretary Philip Hammond had hinted that an increased contribution from North East Lincolnshire Council to the estimated £7 million scheme would improve the chances of the project being given the go-ahead.

Now, he intends to raise the matter during a meeting with Mr Baker. The meeting will be attended by Mr Vickers, Great Grimsby MP Austin Mitchell, Brigg and Goole MP Andrew Percy and Scunthorpe MP Nic Dakin.

We have heard all this before. It's on, it's off... but like everything else, it is at best uncertain. This is Immingham after all. Will they ever learn that we don't believe them any more? When did a politician keep any promise of importance to us? One of the biggest container ports anywhere and no bypass! If we were anywhere else we would have had it many moons ago!

Just setting up the computer with new motherboard.

I used to love flock browser, but they ruined it and the old one won't update. But Firefox is Buzzing now with a few (about 40!) add ons and I am really impressed. Trouble is I am now addicted to destroytheweb. If I don't like something I can blast it out of existence! (Albeit safely ...

and in private, but what a powerful feeling!)

I just love widgets, and apps. Maybe we should have a widget show on the web.
