£45 Million awarded by National Government for Congleton Link Road Funding
Fiona Bruce MP said “This puts Congleton on the map. It is the result of real teamwork. I pay tribute to the business leaders of Congleton and East Cheshire Chamber of Commerce who made the business case for the link road and gave me the ammunition to fight in Parliament for its funding. The Link2Prosperity Group deserve real congratulations.”
