New community bus service linking Haverhill with West Suffolk Hospital

A new bookable community bus service linking Haverhill with West Suffolk Hospital will be launched next month, Suffolk County Council has announced today.

There are far too many accidents on the A1307, the road that runs from Haverhill to Cambridge. It is an incredibly dangerous road and improvements need to be made to it.

Starting today, 1 February,  there is an exciting new development in the world of digital communications – the Matt Hancock app.  I am the first MP to have my own app and it is a big step forward in the way MPs are able to communicate with their constituents. 

Matt Hancock asked Jo Churchill MP, James Waters and John Griffiths to help him choose the winning design for his annual Christmas card. Hundreds of entries came from primary schools across his West Suffolk constituency.

The number of people in West Suffolk who are unemployed and the number of those claiming Job Seekers Allowance has fallen significantly over the past month.

Matt and Lucy Frazer MP (South East Cambridgeshire) met with the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Roads, Local Transport and Devolution, Jesse Norman MP, to push for the inclusion of Junction 37 of the A14/A142 and Junction 38 of the A14/A11 in the Government’s up-coming Road Investment

Matt Hancock and South East Cambridgeshire MP Lucy Frazer have secured a meeting with Roads Minster Jesse Norman MP. The A14/A142 junction, the A1307 and the Fiveways roundabout will be on the agenda.

Commenting, Matt said:

I attended the 25th Employer Engagement Event at HMP Highpoint. It’s great to see the Governor and his staff doing a great job and I strongly support Highpoint’s Amends scheme which helps stop prisoners from reoffending.
