Fiona Bruce MP secures funding for Middlewich Bypass

Fiona Bruce MP is pleased to be able to announce this week that she has secured £1,257,000 of Government funding to help build the business case for the much needed Middlewich Bypass as part of the Government’s Large Local Major Schemes programme.

After campaigning on this on behalf of Middlewich residents both locally and in Parliament almost since her election in 2010, Fiona has said of this announcement:

 “I am delighted that, following meetings with Government Ministers and representations in Parliament, and working together with Cheshire East Council and the Local Enterprise Partnership, we have been able to secure this Government funding. This funding decision by Government Ministers should give everyone locally confidence that National Government has listened to, heard and understood the very real need for a bypass for the people of Middlewich. I hope that this funding to help develop a detailed business case will ensure that a firm plan and construction timeline is set in place. Middlewich has been waiting too long for a bypass, deserves this investment and local residents can be assured of my continued determination to keep fighting for the bypass for the town until we see its completion.”
