North East Herts MP Oliver Heald has followed up his correspondence with the Transport Minister by tabling a formal Parliamentary Question.
However, Minister Tom Harris MP has replied that there are no proposals to widen to A1(M) between Welwyn and Stevenage and that this is a matter for “Region”.
Commenting, Oliver Heald said, “No wonder we want to abolish the Regions when they are used by the Government as a way of passing the buck. It is obviously important that the A1(M) between Welwyn and Stevenage is widened. Anyone who has tried to use the road at peak times knows what the situation is.”
