Derby MP vows to make sure A38 case is ‘properly considered’

Derby MP Baggy Shanker has vowed to ensure a case to reinstate a major A38 upgrade scheme “is properly considered”. But Mr Shanker and fellow city MP Catherine Atkinson have not said whether they think cancelling the estimated £600m project is the right decision or not.

A38 expansion start date – campaigners react

A start date on work for the major expansion of the A38 has been revealed – but campaigners have hit out at the decision to approve the project. The Government announced its commitment to transform one of Derby’s busiest roads this week in a move it says will boost the economy and provide “smoother and safer journeys” for motorists. The commitment means the A38’s three main roundabouts at Kingsway, Markeaton and Little Eaton are set for significant change. The expansion […]
