Funding Promised for A34 Slip Road Safety

Reading West and Mid Berkshire MP Olivia Bailey met roads minister Simon Lightwood to raise safety concerns about the A34 slip roads at East Ilsley and Beedon.

Hundreds of constituents responded to her survey, and residents say improvements are urgently needed.

"I am grateful to the minister for meeting with me," said Ms Bailey.

"I welcome the commitment to further engagement once the study reports back and will continue to push for the improvements our community needs."

Mr Lightwood said: "Safety on our roads is a top priority for this Labour Government and I recognise the concerns Olivia has raised regarding the A34 slip roads at East Ilsley and Beedon.

"I look forward to continuing to work with Olivia following its outcome."
