A46 update

Apparently Notts County Council had asked Sherwood MP Paddy Tipping to get involved in the debate on widening the A46 this week.

The road doesn't actually run through his constituency but the council thought the argument might carry more weight if it was supported by a Labour MP in Parliament, which is true.

There is the other point that it might be bad for a Labour council in an election year to have two Tory MPs sorting out their biggest transport problem.
