Simon Kirby, MP is to welcome Penny Mordaunt MP, Minister at the Department for Communities and Local Government, to Eastbourne tomorrow (Monday, December 1).
She is coming to discuss plans for the A27 in East Sussex and potential funding for improvements which are being announced by the Government today.
Simon is the MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven and Chair of the A27 Reference Group.
He said: “I have been lobbying the Government repeatedly on behalf of my colleagues in East Sussex as chairman of the A27 Reference Group. With an announcement on funding due shortly I am looking forward to putting the case to the Minister and I hope she will come bearing good news.”
“Improving the A27 is predicted to make a huge positive difference to the economy in East Sussex, boosting inward investment as well as easing pressure on other roads in the Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven constituency like the A259.
“I will continue to make the case right up until a decision is made one way or the other and it is great to have the opportunity tomorrow to show the Minister at first hand just how beneficial improving the A27 could be for the local economy.”
