\nCHRIS MANN:<\/strong> Is that a hint that it might not happen?
\nJULIAN HUPPERT:<\/strong> And and and I think we will have to ..
\nCHRIS MANN:<\/strong> Oh. It is a hint that it’s not happening.
\nJULIAN HUPPERT:<\/strong> Wait and see what happens tomorrow.
\nCHRIS MANN:<\/strong> Ok. Are you in the know Julian?
\n
\n…<\/p>\n
\nJULIAN HUPPERT:<\/strong> I want to hear that there will be national funding for a scheme to deal with the huge problems we’ve had for that A14, and that there’ll be some protection for the roads in Cambridge that they don’t get gridlocked.
\nCHRIS MANN:<\/strong> Daniel Zeichner. What do you want to hear?
\nDANIEL ZEICHNER:<\/strong> I want to see the A14 at the top of the priority list. And I’d agree with that.
\nCHRIS MANN:<\/strong> John Bridge?
\nJOHN BRIDGE:<\/strong> I want absolute certainty that it’s going to happen. The Government is very good at all the announcements around the road programmes, and potential funding for them, but they’re not very good on the delivery. And what we want is absolute certainty that they are going to go ahead and deliver that road. But let’s not forget, we haven’t got a scheme. It’s got to go through public inquiries, and all kinds of things over the next few years. So we have a real problem on our hands. But what we need is absolute certainty that no-one’s going to take the money away again in the future.<\/p>\n
