Roberto Weeden-Sanz and Keane Duncan, the Conservative candidate to be Mayor of North Yorkshire, have launched a campaign to ‘Just Dual It’.
Roberto and Keane have called on the government to commit to funding the dualling of the A64 with a petition promoted across the county and a pledge that if the Conservatives win the North Yorkshire Mayoralty we will commit a multi-million investment towards delivering the long-awaited works.
Roberto Weeden-Sanz says: “The campaign to dual the A64 has been going on for far too long. And the failure to dual key parts of this major highway is throttling the Yorkshire Coast. I am committed to ensuring that Scarborough and Whitby does not get forgotten and making sure that we receive the investment needed to help our community flourish.”
“With a multi-million pound commitment from Keane, as our Conservative Mayoral candidate, and the government due to decide on future funding for road infrastructure in the forthcoming budget, this is the opportunity for everyone to make their voices hear. We need you to sign up to our ‘Just Dual It’ campaign to show that enough is enough. It is time to Just Dual It!”
Keane Duncan, York & North Yorkshire mayoral candidate, says: “After decades of setbacks and delays, we’re uniting to say the time has come to ‘Just Dual It’.”
“This is a £300m project of national significance. While we can’t fund it entirely alone, it’s right that we demonstrate our local commitment. So I’m seizing the momentum of devolution and pledging mayoral funds towards construction costs if I’m elected as Mayor in May. This would give us a serious stake in delivery of the project.”
The campaign is supported by North Yorkshire’s current MPs and business leaders in the lead up to the government deciding the next round of road infrastructure investments.
