It is great news that the Government has given its strongest indication yet that they are likely to provide funding to improve more sections of the A47 and Norfolk Chamber looks forward with interest to the Autumn Statement announcements.
The Roads Minister, Robert Goodwill, gave strong hints at a meeting with Norfolk MPs who raised the needs of the Norfolk business community for improved road infrastructure to ease congestion and access across the County.
Norfolk businesses have been working hard to compete in the current economic climate and business confidence is starting to grow. An improved A47 will make the east/west journey across our County easier and will particularly give exporters, based in West Norfolk, better access to all the ports on the East coast.
However proof is in the pudding and we need to see the hard evidence of the Government’s commitment to improving infrastructure in Norfolk.
