The more people who vote Conservative on 4 July, the more Conservative voices we will have in Parliament. I was in Lancashire, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire today with four of the strongest in the shape of @Andrew4Pendle, @AJonesMP, @JulianSturdy and Holly Mumby-Croft

The re-alignment of the A59 at Kex Gill has secured the final Government go-ahead. A new 4km stretch of road will be created, replacing an existing part of the A59 which has been affected by the landslips. Construction is set to begin in April. northyorks.gov.uk/news/artic…

A landmark day as minister @RicHolden MP gives final approval for the A59 Kex Gill realignment. This £69m project, delivered with @transportgovuk funding, is one of @northyorksc’s most ambitious ever highways schemes and will secure the future of this key east-west route.

Great news for bus users. 🚍 An ambitious bid to convert an entire #Harrogate bus fleet to electric vehicles has won @transportgovuk approval. We're working with @harrogatebus to bring 39 zero-emission buses to the town over the next 3 years. More: northyorks.gov.uk/news/artic…

This trial by @northyorkscc of a camera continues. Two issues exist: adequate power which should be resolved as elsewhere by wind and solar. The transmission signal is greater challenge but our 5G MANY roll-out in that area should help.

I have asked @northyorkscc highways officers to brief me on feasibility of an uncontrolled crossing at this busy location adjacent to PoW Roundabout. I recognise current difficulties for pedestrians. Funding is in place for Wetherby Rd crossing at Slingsby Walk.

@Mac1Don can you make this a priority please? Any further updates on the shared crossing for Wetherby Road and Oatlands Drive? @northyorkscc @AJonesMP

I’m not aware of such request to @northyorkscc about our funded Kex Gill scheme, which is a diversion of a problematic existing road which will be restored to nature. The new alignment will avoid threat of closure and environmentally damaging detour.

Would be interesting to know if @northyorkscc and @Mac1Don received a similar request and what impact it may have on road building schemes such as the proposals for A59 Alex Gill re-alignment?
