MPs Out & About - Iain Stewart
Expressway through East Milton Keynes
Iain Stewart MP for Milton Keynes South gives an update in March’s edition of MK Pulse. He highlights the Ox-Cam Expressway and “the No Expressway Group invited me to a meeting where I discussed with them the proposed Expressway through East Milton Keynes. I am in agreement with them that we do not need the Expressway increasing unnecessary traffic through Milton Keynes and emitting more carbon into the atmosphere.”
Mr Stewart goes on to say that he will “continue to lobby the Government in the hopes the Expressway will be cancelled.”
We are hoping it will be cancelled too! But there has been no official statement. There is still time to add your voice to those who’ve already demanded that the government scrap the Expressway and target for housing target ambitions way beyond the regions genuine need.
You can also write to Grant Shapps asking him to meet with No Expressway Group to discus the review he pledged.

We urgently need your help.
Your donations are needed now, to help us run the campaign and pay for political consultants and other professional experts to bring this campaign to the attention of Westminster as well as local politicians.
No Expressway Group believes there is no need for an Oxford-Cambridge Expressway, nor the over-inflated housing targets associated with it, and we will actively campaign against it and support other organisations with the same objectives.
Our environment is a national asset which is critical for everyone’s health and well-being. We must not let it be destroyed.
Your donations help us to spread information about the Expressway, run and build support for the campaign:
£10 could pay for one roadside Correx poster
£15 could pay for one roadside poster on a wooden stake
£20 could pay for one A1 printed colour poster for our pagoda display
£35 could pay for 250 A5 printed leaflets for the campaign
£70 could pay for one pole and two panels for our travelling pagoda display
£150 could pay for one feather flag for our travelling pagoda
£180 could pay to run this website for one year
£300 could pay for a 3 minutes of an Expressway Story
£500 could pay for a 5 minutes of an Expressway Story
A greater or other amount could contribute to the cost of professional support for our campaign in general and in preparation for Planning Inspectorate hearings
Please note:
The No Expressway Group has a group bank account to which the Chair, Secretary and Treasurer are signatories. The group will publish accounts on noexpressway.org each year which will be audited by an accountant from outside the NEG group.
If any funds are left at the end of the campaign, these will be donated equally between RSPB and BBOWT.
