WEST Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin has urged Pershore commuters to have their say as Worcestershire County Council plans the design of the new Pershore Link Road.
The county council has opened a consultation which will look at the new road which will connect the town centre with the A44.
The bid for funding will see the Local Enterprise Partnership and the county council invest an estimated £10 million in the scheme.
She commented: “Many people have views on the way traffic can flow better along Station Road and towards Wyre Piddle and this is their chance to influence the design of the new road.
“While I do hope that the housing developer will fulfill its legal commitments and finish the junction, there must be proper local consultation on what the right long-term solution is.
“I encourage as many local commuters as possible to get involved and share their views with the county council. This important infrastructure project must get local buy-in and deliver improved journey times for commuters.”
