#Shrewsbury 🛣️ The Government has agreed to meet with the leader of #Shropshire Council to discuss the controversial North West Relief Road. “We need a resolution so any final decision doesn’t make our very difficult financial position even worse.”shropshirestar.com/news/2025/06/0…

Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered a speech about the spending review in Parliament today but there was no news on the A38 scheme announced. It may be that we hear news on the A38 in the 10 year infrastructure strategy possibly in a weeks time. a38derbychaos.org/news/press-rel…

Good to see that more people are viewing wasteful schemes like #A1 dualling and #A19 junctions are money wasted on major roads, and that schemes like the #NorthumberlandLine and #ECML are better investments to make! chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…

Excellent news as the disastrous Shrewsbury North West Relief Road inches closer towards its inevitable demise. Congrats due to @RoadToRuinShrop and Better Shrewsbury Transport (BeST)

We are dismayed that today the government has announced funding for the A66 Northern Trans-Pennine road scheme. It was last costed at £1.5bn in 2022, but the absence of any funding figures in the announcement suggests costs have risen further.

The £10bn+ Lower Thames Crossing won't help all the many households in Essex and Kent who don't have a car, and need affordable public transport instead.

Should National Highways be allowed to sign off on schemes less than £500m in value, without any involvement or scrutiny from Department for Transport officials or ministers? transportactionnetwork.org.uk/overspending-o…

Bluestones are believed to have been among the first stones erected at #Stonehenge around 5,000 years ago. Leaving the science aside for a moment, consider the sense of place, the energy which drew our ancestors and continues to draw people today. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Take Action: Write to Politicians – Demand Rail Investment, Scrap the A38 Expansion. Send your letter here: actionnetwork.org/letters/take-a… The Government’s recent spending review defunded the Midland Mainline electrification but funded the pointless & polluting A38 Derby junctions.

The A38 Derby Junctions scheme has now jumped to £646m – above the £500m threshold that led Govt to cancel the A1. Authorities hid these costs before approving it. a38derbychaos.org/news/a38-derby…

NEW: We have discovered that National Highways is syphoning off money from a dedicated fund for environmental and safety improvements (called ‘Designated Funds’) to use it as sweeteners or greenwashing for new roadbuilding schemes. transportactionnetwork.org.uk/highway-robber…

Perhaps National Highways’ most blatant misuse of Designated Funds as a sweetener for roadbuilding is to gain local support for the £16bn Lower Thames Crossing. 🧵
