Every time the Watling Street bridge is hit - like it was yesterday - Hinckley, Higham on the Hill, Wykin and Burbage become a rat run, putting even more pressure on the roads in our town and villages.
This morning I reiterated the issue of the Watling Street bridge and the need for improvements to the A5 with the new Transport Secretary.
I'm pleased to have secured a meeting with the Roads Minister and will continue to push for the necessary improvements.
