Today Greg was joined by Cllr Steve Broadbent, Buckinghamshire Council Cabinet Member for Transport, and Cllr Peter Martin, Deputy Cabinet Member for HS2 & EWR, alongside local ward members Cllr Angela Macpherson and Cllr Frank Mahon, to survey the horrendous state of the roads around Calvert, Shipton Lee, Marsh Gibbon and the Claydons.
Greg said, “Many stretches, including Sandhill Road, Verney Road, Clayton Road and Queen Catherine Road, remain very hazardous and in some places impassable. We all see with our own eyes and feel in our own pockets from damage to our cars the damage that has been done. Construction traffic serving EWR and HS2 have left these roads in an unacceptable state of disrepair - the verges are ruined, countless potholes litter the road surface, and key safety signage has been misplaced.
“I’ve been raising these issues for a very long time and both I and our council are fed up with HS2 and EWR not stumping up the cash to fix that which they have broken.
“I’m therefore calling AGAIN on both projects’ leaders to step up and honour their duty of care to my constituents and local businesses whose lives are being ruined on a daily basis.”
