“Great news for Nottingham!” says local Lib Dem campaigner Alison Rouse. “At last, after years of being put off by Labour and Tory governments, the A453 will be widened”.
Now, with the Liberal Democrats in government, the work is finally about to be carried out.

The Government has announced it will spend £160m to widen the A453. The work is planned to start by 2015. This is one of the main routes into Nottingham, and motorists often have to deal with traffic jams and slow moving traffic.

Alison went on to say “This is a major boost to the local economy. The project will bring £500m of business into the region, boosting Nottingham and helping to create jobs here”.
