Dear all,

We've had the formal confirmation from RBC that the funding has been secured for the junction. We have also been informed that the junction is number one on their priority list. 

This can be viewed in the RBC documents from tonight's meeting (16/03/2026) via the following links:

A) See question 3 and the corresponding answer in this written document:

B) ...or via video. See point 6 Councillor's questions, and it is the third question:

We don't expect any more movement to take place before the May elections, but after this time, we will keep you informed on the progress. 

Thank you everyone for your support. We could not have got to this stage without each, and every, one of you! 🥂🍻

Best wishes,

Heidi
