It is undeniable that this has been a tough few months for all of us and that the country is facing difficult decisions that we would all have hoped were avoidable. I do however believe that by taking those hard steps now, we can prepare and strengthen Britain for a future which is sustainable in the long-term. At this time of Christmas presents, I’ve been having a think about what would be on my wish list for the local area and after lengthy consideration I’ve got it down to three. I’d like to see the issue of the A614 finally tackled. I’ve successfully campaigned for extra lanes on the Ollerton roundabout, easing traffic queues, which is a good start. I have also asked the Minister for Transport to consider additional funding to the County to allow for improvements to the horrific junctions on the A614 and he will be carrying out a site inspection with particular emphasis on Rose Cottage, Gravelly Hollow and Mickeldale Lane. Second on my wish list is to stop the flooding ruining homes and businesses in Rainworth. I am meeting with Severn Trent over the coming weeks to find a solution and will keep you posted. My final wish this year is for support for the invaluable and often unsung heroes of our local community: the voluntary and charity organisations that do so much. There is a Big Society Bank due for next year but I know a lot of groups I spoke with were worried about the more immediate future. I asked David Cameron at Prime Minister’s Questions how quickly we can get funding to these organisations and he has assured me that a transition fund of £100 million is now available and I strongly urge local bodies to take full advantage and apply. So once again, I wish you and yours a very Happy Christmas this year and I would also like to take the opportunity to wish our armed forces across the world a safe and Merry Christmas. Thank you also for your support this year and as ever if I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch on: 0115 968 1186.
