Just Dual It Campaign Launch
Dualling the A64 at long last 👇🚨
Conservative Mayoral Candidate for York and North Yorkshire Keane Duncan has a multi-million pound commitment to finally get the job done.
Keane Duncan, said: “After decades of setbacks and delays, we’re uniting to say the time has come to ‘Just Dual It’.
“This is a £300m project of national significance. While we can’t fund it entirely alone, it’s right that we demonstrate our local commitment.
“So I’m seizing the momentum of devolution and pledging mayoral funds towards construction costs if I’m elected as Mayor in May. This would give us a serious stake in delivery of the project.
“While our specific final contribution would be subject to negotiation, this would represent a multi-million pound investment. Hopefully it’s an offer the Government can not refuse.
“With a decision on the A64 potentially just weeks away, I’m making this clear commitment now so we don’t miss out. It could prove key to strengthening the business case and sealing the deal.
“I’m prepared to do everything in my power as Mayor to deliver this critical investment at long last.
“But with time running out, I need to demonstrate the strength of local support. That’s why I’m asking as many people as possible to sign up to the ‘Just Dual It’ campaign.”
Julian Sturdy, MP for York Outer, added: “Keane’s pledge gives us the very best chance of making the case to the Government and securing the dualling the A64 at long last.
“The Government must demonstrate it’s truly serious about Levelling Up our region by committing the investment required for this major infrastructure improvement.
“Dualling the A64, alongside upgrades to the A1237 York Outer Ring Road, will better connect our city and end the gridlock holding back our region’s economy. It is time to ‘Just Dual It’.”
It's time to Just Dual It.

🪖ENDING VETERAN HOMELESSNESS🪖 More than £8.5 million of funding has been announced in order to ensure no veteran should sleep rough this Christmas, and veteran homelessness is ended in 2023. 🏘 The funding will deliver services in more than 900 housing units in England, where specialist help for veterans, including with health, education and employment needs are provided. Ahead of the funding, Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Johnny Mercer worked with the veteran housing charity sector, bringing them together to establish a temporary referral scheme in England, Wales and Scotland for the Christmas period, ensuring that no Veterans should be sleeping rough this Christmas. 📞 Veterans can access the scheme through a dedicated charity helpline, on the number 01748 833797. 🎄This temporary referral scheme should ensure that no veteran who seeks support is homeless at Christmas. 📆The funding will ensure the government’s pledge in the Veterans’ Strategy Action Plan 2022-24 to end veteran rough sleeping within this Parliament, is delivered a year early. Running for two years the funding provides help and support to some of the most vulnerable veterans in our society.
