Peter Aldous asks Transport Minister about the timing of bids to the local major transport scheme fund.
Peter Aldous (Waveney) (Con): A compelling business case for the third crossing in Lowestoft was submitted to the Minister’s Department just before Christmas. I would be grateful if he advised when a bid can be submitted to the local majors fund so that we can get on and build this bridge and ensure it is completed by 2020?
Mr Goodwill: I had the pleasure of visiting my hon. Friend’s constituency to see that particular issue for myself. I will be in a position to make an announcement in due course.
