Back in June, I hosted a village hall event for Quarndon residents. We spoke about a range of concerns including crime, animal welfare, public transport, road safety, and potholes.
I was told that Woodlands Lane was a particular concern for residents. It was in a terrible condition, and needed restoring.
I wrote to Derbyshire County Council and asked them to fix it. I am pleased that they have now completed the works, and the road has been patched up.
Improving our roads is a core mission of the Labour government. At the autumn 2025 budget, Labour doubled the money going to its road improvement fund to over £7 billion. Labour is also tying additional road improvement money to transparency and evidence that it’s being used effectively.
If you know of any stretches of road that need improving, please let me know and I will write to the relevant council on your behalf.
