M25: Repairs and Maintenance

Asked by Dr Ben SpencerConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 18 October 2024UIN 8234

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what powers she has to (a) ensure the timely delivery of the M25/A3 works and (b) prevent unnecessary disruption from the works while they are under way.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

National Highways has public commitment dates for delivery in their Delivery Plan and they are held to account on these dates by the Highways Monitor, Office of Rail and Road. Additionally, through the Department’s established governance framework with National Highways, there is regular reporting and meetings with ministers and officials.

National Highways will continue to look at ways of minimising disruption as much as possible.
