PENRITH and the Border MP David Maclean is urging the Government for an official start date for work on the Temple Sowerby bypass. The project was passed by the Highways Agency last year but funding problems have postponed construction. A firm date is expected after the end of the Government's spending review this summer. Mr Maclean said: "The waiting game is wearing thin with us all."
