Meeting with Plymouth City Council's Portfolio Holder for Transport
Earlier this week, I met with Cllr Stephens, Plymouth’s Portfolio Holder for Transport, to discuss some of the ongoing transport projects and priorities across South West Devon. This included projects across the city, such as the possibility of reopening Plympton railway station, improvements at Deep Lane and the Dawes Lane cycle path connecting Brixton to Elburton.
I also took the opportunity to raise the concerns about works on Colesdown Hill in Plymstock. I made clear the strength of feeling locally, particularly regarding the 14-month road closure, the impact on school runs and carers and the frustration many feel about how the disruption has been communicated.
I will continue to follow progress closely, press for clear communication and work with the Council to help ensure these projects are delivered efficiently and effectively.
