We campaigned successfully to have the A21 dualled between Tonbridge and Pembury, but there are further improvements needed to our roads and rail services on which we all rely, as well as making the area more cycle friendly.
Urgent steps must be taken to prevent the alarming increase in the number of accidents taking place at the central crossroads in Horsmonden, Greg has said.
As part of his campaign for a step-free High Brooms station, Greg gave representatives from Network Rail a guided tour of the station and the surrounding area. Greg said:
"I'm grateful to Network Rail for coming to see the situation at High Brooms station for themselves.
Greg has called for High Brooms station to be made step-free, after the Government announced up to £300 million of funding for the 'Access to All' programme – which pays for access improvements at stations.
Greg, along with his neighbouring MP for Tonbridge & Malling Tom Tugendhat, officially opened a new offroad cycle path which provides a brand new link between Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells along the route of the A21.
New state-of-the-art double-decker cycle parking has just been installed at High Brooms Station to make it possible for commuters and other rail passengers to cycle to the station.
Greg met with Kent County Council and Horsmonden Parish Council to discuss road safety improvements that are planned for a crossroads in the centre of Horsmonden village which has experienced a recent spate of serious accidents.
Tunbridge Wells MP, Greg Clark, has once again brought together MPs from across Kent and East Sussex in calling for the dualling of the rest of the A21.
Following a consultation earlier in the year on the future of the South Eastern rail network, the Department for Transport has published the improvements which will be expected from the new franchise holder.
