Telford’s MP, Lucy Allan is scheduled to meet with the Chief Executive of Highways England, Jim O’Sullivan tomorrow afternoon in Parliament.
The meeting comes after the news of plans to develop a long term improvement to M6 junction 10.
The MP will be discussing current problems with roadworks going north on the M6 to Manchester and other local concerns raised by constituents.
Lucy Allan will raise the effectiveness and need for traffic lights on roundabouts on the M54 junction 4, 5 and 6 in Telford, which Telford & Wrekin Council say are the responsibility of Highways England.
Speaking ahead the meeting, Lucy Allan said:
‘I am looking forward to meeting with Highways England to discuss the many challenges on the roads which effect people daily in Telford.
‘Traffic lights on roundabouts are a real nuisance to a lot of drivers and can cause unnecessary delays.
‘I will also be looking for an update on the plans to improve junction 10 of the M6. This is something that I welcome as currently there is significant congestion and traffic delays, particularly during morning and evening peak times. The plans in place aim to reduce congestion, rat-running and queues to create a freer-flowing road network. This will support economic growth and jobs and connect businesses and communities in Telford by improving access to motorways.’
