Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
On the road with the Transport Minister as the government | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
hints there could be cash to pay for a complete dualling of the A47. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
The Lord Hanningfield expenses scandal. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
He should manner, he should do the right thing and return many he has | :00:17. | :00:33. | |
spent back to the people of Essex. think the County Council probably | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
owes me ?30,000. The moment a policeman's | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
leg was broken in Norwich. And the Tour de France is | :00:40. | :00:40. | |
on its way to us. Standby for a beginner's | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
guide to all those jerseys. First tonight, | :00:46. | :00:57. | |
another minister visits the A47 So are we finally getting closer to | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
seeing this notorious road hmproved? The A47 runs from Great Yarmouth | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
across to Peterborough Despite being classed as a Duropean | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
highway, most of it is actually These bits in yellow are | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
the only dual carriageway sdctions. And among the pinch points | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
at the moment. And this stretch to the east | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
of King's Lynn. Dualling the whole lot | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
would cost ?1.4 billion. Here's our political | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
correspondent Andrew Sinclair. This is all part of the ongoing | :01:39. | :01:54. | |
campaign to keep the A47 in the government spotlight. From Great | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Yarmouth to Peterborough, MPs lined up to meet the Minister and drive | :01:59. | :02:08. | |
along this stretch of the road. All the regions want to get the | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Minister, we have got him today, and it is very important we speak with | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
one voice. At every stop thdre were the road was improved, it could be | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
worth ?3 billion to the economy government has identified shx key | :02:23. | :02:37. | |
routes in need of investment. The A47 was one of them. What I have | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
real pinch points are, with the dangerous | :02:46. | :02:55. | |
able to be progressed more puickly, but the overall messages that | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
We have been reporting on campaigns to improve the | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
still congested and accident frequently | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
cusp of something really exciting. This is a very strong | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
After this visit, expectations are now very high. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
I was told by someone at Westminster last month | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
to go into the next election with a bold promise to improve the A47 It | :03:40. | :03:51. | |
is going to happen. It will not happen overnight and it will not be | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
the full ?1.4 billion but it will make a difference. If Labour | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
next general election and ddcide to redraw the priorities, which is what | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Labour also appreciate the importance of this road. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
And despite all the publicity there will no doubt be thousands of | :04:13. | :04:13. | |

helicopters overhead. 1:45pm, the moment everyone has been | :04:59. | :05:08. | |

And Stage Three starts in this region in two days, | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
in Leeds. Later we have got a beginner's guide to the tour. First, | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
this taster from Yorkshire. The calm before the storm that is | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
the world's Coffey but no cakes for this French | :13:40. | :13:45. | |

most of it. my lifetime. I have cycled from | :14:08. | :14:18. | |
Oxford and up to this big day. The 200 cyclists | :14:19. | :14:33. | |
just go with it told. Cambridge is right up there. It is a | :14:34. | :14:44. | |
very famous. One of the and 2000 people will cover the race. | :14:45. | :14:58. | |

Cavendish has is a huge opportunity | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
for many businesses. But are there any | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
longer term benefits? Our business correspondent | :15:56. | :15:56. | |
Richard Bond's been finding out Heath Johnson is getting into the | :15:57. | :16:08. | |
spirit of things. His business is in spirit of things. His busindss is in | :16:09. | :16:21. | |
prime position to benefit from the tour. He has sold 80 VIP tickets | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
entitling guests to a champ`gne breakfast, a four course lunch and a | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
great view. The VIP tickets have been sold at ?150 per head. The Tour | :16:35. | :16:40. | |

Hotel 's are also busy. This hotel in Cambridge will be packed out. | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
coming to Cambridge, we are full on Sunday and Monday. But it is not all | :16:59. | :17:17. | |

holidays? Northern Ireland has been through this already. | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
The biggest benefit is this ?10 million of free publicity which much | :17:51. | :18:02. | |
it is very hard to prove ond way or another if you | :18:03. | :18:18. | |
than enough to worry about catering for visitors. | :18:19. | :18:31. | |
