Roads: Safety Measures

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to ensure the adequacy of funding for local authorities to improve road safety.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Local authorities are responsible for the management of local roads, within the rules set by Government. It is for the local authority to decide what measures may be appropriate in their local areas.

Since the general election, the Department has begun work on a new Road Safety Strategy, the first in over a decade. We will set out next steps on this in due course.
