The LEP's Graham Nix comments on the A14 announcement

“We are delighted to have landed the funding required to upgrade the A14 – the most important infrastructure project in our area. As the single largest local contributor to the scheme, we are delivering on our promise to unblock the barriers to growth that impede the growth of not only our local businesses, but the UK economy as a whole. Businesses told us that upgrading the A14 was the single most important issue to resolve – we listened and we have helped to make it happen. I commend the excellent partnership working and contributions, led by Cambridgeshire County Council, which have enabled us to get the agreement from Government to finally deliver this long overdue upgrading of the A14.”
