Roads and everyday infrastructure

Roads and Everyday Infrastructure

Poor infrastructure in Beverley and Holderness costs families and businesses money. Broken roads, worn pavements, unreliable transport and neglected services create extra time and expense. These problems are real and need attention.

I hear this every week from residents. Fixing what is broken keeps communities running smoothly.

Roads and Pavements

Potholes, damaged surfaces and worn pavements add unnecessary costs and safety risks.

Key priorities include:

• Repairing potholes and damaged surfaces quickly
• Maintaining pavements for safety and accessibility
• Keeping local roads reliable for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians

Public Transport and Local Services

Reliable buses, street lighting, bins and public spaces matter every day. When these services fail, it affects families and local businesses.

Focus areas include:

• Ensuring bus services meet local needs
• Maintaining public spaces, street lighting and bins
• Supporting small businesses and productive local services

 

Everyday Infrastructure Matters

Every day, infrastructure affects us all, from roads and bridges to lampposts, bus stops and bins. I want to hear from you about the issues that matter most in your area.

Your experiences will help me raise these concerns in Westminster and push for improvements that make Beverley and Holderness safer, more reliable and easier to get around.
