Short changed on transport
Yorkshire and Humberside are falling behind on their transport infrastructure and once again it comes down to the usual problem: money.
A report by the ICE (Institute of Civil Engineers) states that Yorkshire and Humberside receive the lowest transport funding than any other region in the UK.
In fact, we have £200 spent per head on us, compared to £600 on average down South.
This surely means that any plans to improve the network are never even going to see the light of day because of the unfair funding allocation?
This even follows numerous findings that Yorkshire and Humber host plenty of Britain’s most dangerous roads, including our very own A1079 from Market Weighton to Hull. I’m not convinced speed cameras are the way forward either, but that’s a blog for another day…
