This morning (24th August 2021) Greg Smith MP personally drove Rail Minister Chris Heaton-Harris MP around Buckinghamshire roads damaged by the sheer volume of East West Rail and HS2 construction traffic.
Greg said: "For many months I have been pushing both East West Rail and HS2 to repair the roads that their construction traffic have so badly ripped apart. This was a subject that came up in an East West Rail/High Speed Two forum meeting which Rail Minister Chris Heaton-Harris earlier in the year, and he committed to come and see the damage for himself.
"This morning, I spent two hours driving him around our affected roads, so he could see first hand what we all have to navigate on a daily basis. He has committed to talking with East West Rail to get more remedy where EWR are the culprits, on top of the works already agreed for Queen Catherine Road in Steeple Claydon. I'll keep pushing on this until we have roads that come up to the standard and quality we all expect."
