South Leicestershire MP Alberto Costa is seeking an urgent meeting with Leicestershire County Council to discuss ‘much-needed’ improvements to the local infrastructure and road network in Enderby.
Alberto has been approached by the two Councillors for Enderby & St John’s to assist in seeking improvements to roads in Enderby including the development of the Enderby relief road.
Discussions have come ahead of the consideration of a new planning application for the Enderby Logistics Hub which has attracted over 1,000 objections from local residents.
The MP has also written to the Transport Secretary, The Rt. Hon Mark Harper MP, to ask what assistance the Government can provide in improving local infrastructure in Enderby and to assist in discussions over the proposed Enderby Relief Road.
Alberto said, “Following a recent meeting with the two excellent District Councillors for Enderby and St Johns, I have written to Leicestershire County Council in order to arrange an urgent meeting to discuss some much needed improvements in Enderby. With the plans for the Enderby Logistics Hub on the horizon, it is quite clear that greater thought and consideration needs to be given to relieve congestion in and around Enderby and the previous proposals for an Enderby Relief Road would greatly help this.
It is unfair for my constituents in Enderby to suffer with congested roads, with local neighbourhoods often becoming rat runs, and therefore I hope to meet with the County Council soon to discuss possible solutions and I have also written to the Transport Secretary to see what assistance the Government can provide”.
