Better transport infrastructure

  • Tweet
rail

Ben has been lobbying Government to invest in road and rail to improve our connections, including the Robin Hood line, the A60 and the A617, and we're making good progress.

In November 2021 Government announced that the Robin Hood Line and Maid Marian Line are part of their rail investment plans, which means that Warsop will be connected to the network for the first time in decades, whilst local residents will get improved rail services and access to thousands of new jobs in commutable distance at Toton.

At County Hall, Ben put together a new Highways Review which has announced 50 new changes to the way that our roads and pavements are maintained, and over the coming years will ensure that local people see better outcomes for their money on road repairs.

Pushing for new rail lines in Mansfield

£500m to help restore Beeching rail lines

Thursday, 30 January, 2020

This week, Government formally opened the funding to reopen old disused railway lines with some announcements about new projects. 

Opening up the funding means another manifesto commitment has been delivered, and it's good news for our Robin Hood Line proposals. 

HS2

Wednesday, 22 January, 2020

Earlier this week, I spoke to ITV Central about HS2 and leaked documents suggesting that a big review doesn't have any clear answers. It seems to recommend a six month delay and further investigation.

Today's Mansfield Chad highlights our campaign to extend the Robin Hood Line rail service across Warsop and North Notts, where I've been working for several years with my colleague, Mark Spencer, to connect our rural towns for work and leisure.
