Question to the HM Treasury:
What steps he is taking to invest in infrastructure in the Chelmsford area.
Infrastructure investment is at the heart of our strategy to drive productivity growth across the country:
Through the £1.4 billion that will be invested as part of the Greater Anglia Franchise, a new fleet of over 1000 vehicles will be delivered by September 2020.
The South-East LEP has secured £590 million from the Local Growth Fund for schemes to boost growth and help deliver new housing.
£100-250 million will be invested to widen the A12 to provide extra capacity between Chelmsford and Colchester.
