Jonathan Djanogly has welcomed news that European funding has been approved for the rail line between Felixstowe and Nuneaton. Improvements to this significant European transport route will allow more freight to be shifted from the port by rail, reducing congestion on the A14. It is believed that the project will cost £8.3 million. Mr Djanogly supported the scheme and wrote to Mr Jonathan Scheele, Director of Trans-European Networks, in July this year to back the funding application. Mr Djanogly said; ‘I was delighted to hear the news that the scheme for a rail line between Felixstowe and Nuneaton has received funding. It represents an excellent opportunity to take freight off the A14 and is hugely welcome.’
