One of Andrew’s key priorities for the Wilford division is to work with the Government and EDF for the best solutions for highways and transport for any construction of Sizewell C and with other energy providers on better onshore transmission methods. He is also keen to work with all the parishes in the division to improve the condition of the roads as much as possible.
