The Highways Agency published a litter strategy in April 2014 and this highlights that since April 2011 the amount of litter on the strategic road network has reduced by approximately 25%.
The Highways Agency continues to work with relevant stakeholders on litter issues, including encouraging commercial vehicle operators to ensure their vehicles do not spill litter or debris. This includes working closely with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and Keep Britain Tidy to raise public awareness of the dangers and costs of litter.
The Agency also undertakes campaigns to encourage motorists to take their litter home making use of social media channels and roadside variable message signs to remind drivers to dispose of their litter responsibly.
DEFRA also plays an active role in reducing litter and, as you may know, provides funding to Keep Britain Tidy. This organisation is well established and undertakes a range of activities, including educational campaigns in respect of the impacts that litter can cause to the environment.
In respect to local highway authority roads, the Department for Transport does not hold data in respect of litter on the local road network, as litter clearance is a matter for the relevant local authority.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the current timetables for the development of the A303 from Stonehenge to Taunton, including making it a dual carriageway.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the current timetables for the development of the A303 from Stonehenge to Taunton, including making it a dual carriageway.
The Road Investment Strategy (RIS) stated our intention to upgrade all remaining sections of the A303 between the M3 and the A358 to dual carriageway standard, together with creating a dual carriageway link from the M5 at Taunton to the A303, as part of a commitment to creating a new Expressway to the South West.
We have started this process by developing and starting work on major improvements during the first Road Period between 2015/16 and 2020/21.
The upgrading of further sections of the route to dual carriageway standard will be developed for delivery in subsequent Road Periods.
The Highways Agency is currently refining and assessing the range of identified options to understand their traffic, environmental and economic impacts.
The Agency is in dialogue with established key stakeholders, including English Heritage and The National Trust, and engagement will continue throughout the development process. Across all schemes:
- Public engagement is expected to take place between 2016 and 2017;
- Recommendations on preferred route options is anticipated to be between late 2017 and 2018;
- Depending upon the progress of the statutory process, start on site aims to be between 2019 and early 2021.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with Network Rail over giving the company compulsory purchase powers outside its permitted development rights to enable it to obtain access to its land or achieve small enhancements, maintenance and renewals more quickly and cheaply.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with Network Rail over giving the company compulsory purchase powers outside its permitted development rights to enable it to obtain access to its land or achieve small enhancements, maintenance and renewals more quickly and cheaply.
There have been no general discussions between Her Majesty’s Government and Network Rail in relation to giving Network Rail additional compulsory purchase powers for the purposes mentioned. Her Majesty's Governmentand Network Rail from time to time discuss particular applications by Network Rail, under section 14 of the Railway Regulation Act 1842, in relation to obtaining temporary access to land neighbouring the railway, where this is needed for the purpose of certain safety works on the railway.
Network Rail can also apply to Her Majesty's Government, under section 15 of that Act, for a revival of the compulsory purchase powers which would originally have applied under the enabling legislation for the relevant stretch of railway; again this would be where such acquisition is needed to be able to effect safety repairs and works. Each application by Network Rail under section 14 and 15 is considered on its specific facts and the safety issues arising.
The powers of entry arising under section 14 of the 1842 Act were considered both by the Transport Resilience Review and the Powers of Entry Review under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. Following on from these Her Majesty's Government expects to consult with Network Rail and other stakeholders over a code of practice in relation to the use of section 14.
