Theresa May MP welcomes new infrastructure Credit: MP's website
The MP for Maidenhead Theresa May has welcomed the Transport Secretary's announcement of new investment in the A404 at Bisham. The Government has approved a scheme costing £4.2m to alleviate congestion on the road. It would see the Bisham roundabout being converted to a crossroads with signals.
The MP, who is also the Home Secretary said: “This is very welcome news and will help to tackle congestion on the A404 at Bisham, which is a constant source of frustration to local residents. The Government is right to invest in infrastructure and to support our vital transport links.”
A police officer has attacked the Home Secretary Theresa May describing her as a disgrace after she completed her speech at the Police Federations Annual Conference in Bournemouth.
The Maidenhead MP announced plans to give officers powers to prosecute up to 500,000 cases every year, starting with uncontested traffic offence
Theresa May has praised Hampshire Police for using electronic systems to reduce the amount of paperwork their police officers need to do. This allows more officers to be on the beat.
Theresa May has told the Police Federation Conference that it is right that they should receive an attractive pension but that we need to make difficult decisions.
