Just read in our local rag the A15 section to be "refurbished" with £5m from this moneypot is the section from the Humber Bridge to the M180.. I would have said south of the M180 to Lincoln would have been better spent. In fact this section they are spending the money on seems to be in pristine condition imo!

Copdock needs to be completely re-done. There is simply too much traffic for the current junction to handle - it's my nearest access to the A14, but I tend to drive to J53 instead.

There's a shiny brochure to go along with the campaign

I have used the A15 Humber Bridge to M180 section several times recently,never seen anything that needs doing,maybe the odd place needs resurfacing but nothing outstanding.If anything they ought to get the remaining concrete stretches A180 fully surfaced with blacktop and get it up to a good standard,it was promised several years ago,it's absolutely ear shattering to drive on it as it is

Very easy - Boris said so! (of course, he might not have read his brief properly, or maybe not read his brief at all).
