National Development Plan Mid-Term Evaluation: Statements.
On my way to a funeral outside my constituency this morning, I passed through the Glen of the Downs project on the N11. The speed limit on this beautiful new dual carriageway is now one third lower than when it was a twisty single lane road. I do not understand why the public must be deprived of the value of expensive investment, not to mention battles with folks in trees. Why must we now crawl where, at least at some times of the day, we used to be able to travel at 60 mph? Presumably, the point of public investment is to save time. However, I do not see how that is the case in regard to the N11.
