The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent progress he has made with Cabinet colleagues on allocating funding for the proposed A1331 link road.

Answered by Alison McGovern

£100m from the Housing Infrastructure Fund has been provided to Essex County Council to deliver Phase 1 of the A1331 Link Road, which is under construction. We have been working closely with the council and are expecting them to submit a formal request to Homes England for additional funding to deliver Phase 2 shortly. This request will be considered under the standard Housing Infrastructure Fund processes, and a decision will be made in due course.
