Motion text

That this House recognises the need for urgent improvements to the A417 Missing Link road connecting Swindon on the M4 at Junction 15 and Gloucester on the M5 at Junction 11A, which carries up to 34,000 vehicles a day; notes that the Missing Link is a three-mile single carriageway on an otherwise dualled road and that this causes regular twice daily queues which damages the economies of the adjoining regions, the South East, South West, West Midlands and Wales; further notes that sadly there have been five fatalities on the road since November 2013; and urges the Government to provide the funding to carry out the Loop Scheme to vastly improve safety and reduce congestion.
