The government will now NOT fund a £90 million road scheme to ease congestion.

Crewe has been dealt a major blow with news that the government will now NOT fund a £90 million road scheme to ease congestion in the town.

Plans to improve the A500 corridor and connections to Crewe railway station will no longer receive the money it needs.
