The long-awaited A5-M1 link road has been given the thumbs up by ministers following a public inquiry, South Weds Beds MP Andrew Selous says.

The bypass would be a 2.9-mile dual carriageway, running east from the A5 north of Dunstable to link to the M1 at a new junction, 11A.

The MP said a start on the project was now dependant upon “the developers contributing £45 million and Central Bedfordshire Council £5 million”.
