Cornwall Councillors have reacted with dismay to an announcement that Government funding will be increased by £500 million ... for the whole of England!
Cllr Martin says the Prime Minister’s response shows that the Government has totally lost control of Network Rail: “Translating the answer into plain English, effectively the PM said the money that's already spent has left us with an unusable design.
SEC's Tory MP has a long-track record of calling for “something to be done”, but she has repeatedly failed to ask the right questions at the right time. 14 years after her election, there is still no funding in place for key safety measures on the A38.
An emergency is “a serious and dangerous situation requiring immediate action”. Whilst Labour and the Conservatives run away from the problem, the Liberal Democrats are committed to taking real action.
It's time for Cornwall Councillors to tell the truth: Our target for Cornwall to be Carbon Neutral by 2030 is now completely impossible ... due to Tory inaction and even policies counter to the intent!
There has been a campaign for at least 5 years to get a footbridge installed so Lostwithiel is not cut in half every time a train comes through, but now Network Rail has said it's on hold because of a footbridge design flaw.
