On 23 September, Sarah Dines MP met The Prime Minister to discuss the need for a bypass in Ashbourne.
Sarah Dines MP said, ‘Today I met with the Prime Minister to discuss local issues in Derbyshire. We of course spoke about coronavirus and the continued need for support for the people in Derbyshire Dales, but I also took the opportunity to once again raise with the Prime Minister the dire need for a bypass in Ashbourne.
The bypass is needed for vehicle users and pedestrians alike in Ashbourne. Most Fridays I find myself stuck in terrible traffic in Ashbourne, with quarry vehicles struggling to make it through the narrow roads. For residents of Ashbourne this is an everyday occurrence. We need the quarries. They are vital not only to the local economy, but the minerals they produce are vital to the whole country, but the residents of Ashbourne deserve safe roads, with minimised pollution. A bypass is a common-sense solution to these problems and I was pleased the Prime Minister made a record of the concerns I raised. I will not stop campaigning for a bypass for Ashbourne.’
