Speaking in Parliament on Monday, January 20, 2020, Richard Fuller, Member of Parliament for North East Bedfordshire, offered the government an ‘oven-ready’ deal for its new Infrastructure Fund, by means of an integrated plan on East West Rail, the realignment of the A1, improved health services and housing development.
Speaking in the House of Commons, The MP said: “North East Beds is already shouldering a substantial amount of the nation’s need for housing and as a result, we can see the shortages of public services like GP appointments because developments have not been properly planned.
“With the decision on East West Rail imminent and the need for more housing, an integrated infrastructure deal that I am proposing for Bedfordshire can break the log jam on the realignment of the A1 and ensure access to adequate public services.”
Mr Fuller has called for a meeting with the Chief Secretary to the Treasury to consider his deal.
