A12: Essex
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will provide additional funding to National Highways for the A12 Chelmsford to A120 widening scheme.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
On 30 July 2024, the Secretary of State announced that she was commissioning a review of the Department’s capital spend portfolio.
This review will support the development of our long-term strategy for transport, developing a modern and integrated network with people at its heart, ensuring that transport infrastructure can be delivered efficiently and on time.
The A12 Chelmsford to A120 widening scheme will be considered as part of the capital review alongside other future road projects and, as the Rt Hon Member will know, major investment decisions are a matter for the forthcoming Spending Review.
