Road Safety Campaign

I have been highlighting road safety issues during my campaign, which affect so many people across my constituency area.

Recently I had the opportunity to take Theresa Villiers MP, the Shadow Secretary of State for Transport, on a tour of Clayton.

I have actively been supporting Local councillors who have been working with residents to introduce traffic calming measures. 

I would like to see more powers devolved to local authorities to make it easier for local issues to be addressed.

Please let me know if you have a highways issue in your area.
