David Cameron "Committed" - Shock, Horror..

Not often that you can use a striking headline like that, but in this case it seems legitimate.   Well, at least according to the Exeter Express and Echo who are today running a very interesting story on the A303.

The story reports that David Cameron, in a letter to Devon MP Neil Parish, has said that he and the Conservative Party are committed to improving the A303/A358/A30 corridor.

In his letter, the Prime Minister is reported to have said:

"I very much recognise the strategic importance of this corridor and therefore of finding solutions to its problems, and one of the elements of the study process will be to try to reach agreement on the respective priorities for investment along the corridor.

“The Department (of Transport) expects this study to be completed by spring 2015. Through this feasibility study the Department will identify potential future investment proposals for the route and the priorities, as part of its process for longer term investment planning...”

 “...this Government is committed to finding solutions to the problems on the corridor”.

Talk, of course, is cheap.  Let's see what happens next.
