GREG VIEWS LINK ROAD PROGRESS
10.11.14 for immediate release: Bexhill MP, Greg Barker, visited the construction site of the Bexhill to Hastings Link Road last Friday to see progress on this long-awaiting link between the two towns.
Greg was given a guided tour of progress by East Sussex County Council’s Project Manager Bob Pape, and Mike Spisto, Hochtief Taylor Woodrow Joint Venture's Structures Agent.
Speaking at the site Greg said “I was very pleased to see the good progress being made in the construction of this vital new road between Bexhill and Hastings which will improve journey times along the south coast and open up much needed opportunities for homes and business growth. The team obviously worked very hard through last winter’s challenging wet weather.
This is not a simple road construction project and I saw first-hand just how much work is being done to protect the environment and public rights of way across the valley. As well as the obvious economic benefits to our area, I think people will be pleasantly surprised by the environmentally sensitive recreational opportunities this project will create along the new cycling and walking Greenway.”
