Improving Transport Infrastructure in Ashfield & Eastwood

Ashfield & Eastwood residents deserve a 1st Class transport system.

Restoring old Railway lines such as the Maid Marian Line will help improve access to jobs and more for those in rural Ashfield & Eastwood.

I have secured £50,000 from Government to carry out a feasibility study for this.

I am also sponsoring a bid for train stations at King’s Mill and Selston.

More recently, £1m has been secured to draft a detailed plan to reopen the Maid Marian Line to passengers as part of the Integrated Rail Plan.

A new £15m plan has also been approved to fix Nottinghamshire's broken roads.
