Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) how many trunk road projects are proposed; [125512]
(2) if he will make a statement on the progress with improving the road system. [125513]
Mr. Jamieson: My Department is only responsible for road projects in England outside London. My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of
State's, statement to this House on 9 July made clear our commitment to improving the nation's roads and other forms of transport,
in both the immediate and the longer terms.
The Government's Target Programme of Improvements currently contains 72 major trunk road improvement proposals tackling congestion,
providing safety benefits and relieving communities of traffic. Since June last year, 12 other major trunk road schemes have been
opened. A number of other major trunk road improvements have been proposed, mainly through the multi-modal study process. My right
hon. Friend the Secretary of State's announcement covered 11 of these studies. The Highways Agency have been asked to do further
development work on over 30 road proposals, includingactive traffic management and other technology related improvements on various
parts of the motorway and trunk road network. Similar work is also being carried out on other projects following our responses to
eight other multi-modal studies within the last two years.
Since December 2000, over 60 major road schemes, often bringing safety and quality of life benefits, have been proposed by local
authorities and received provisional or full approval by the Government to proceed. We are expecting around 20 further such
proposals to be submitted as part of this year's Local Transport Settlement process.
