A35: Repairs and Maintenance

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of providing funding for the A35 Sea Road South scheme in 2025-26.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

National Highways has entered an interim settlement year to allow time for ministers to pause and consider Strategic Road Network priorities and capital spend. It has received an allocation of Customer and Communities funding for this interim settlement and prioritised schemes nationally against this allocation. While the A35 Sea Road South scheme did not score highly enough within the prioritisation process to receive this funding, money has been allocated to a scheme which addresses road safety on this route.
