A huge blow to A500 plans in Crewe

Need To Know Cheshire

Available for over a year

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. BBC Radio Stoke's Stuart George hears from Cheshire Political Reporter, Kayleigh Watterson about the reasons behind it. And Mark Goldsmith of Cheshire East Council explains what the alternatives could now be.
