The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that key stakeholders are involved in the (a) planning and (b) decision-making of works on junctions connecting to critical national infrastructure in Surrey Heath constituency.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Ahead of planned roadwork closures National Highways (NH) engage with local authorities' and key local stakeholders to inform them of the work which may impact on them and plan a suitable schedule. NH inform customers through its website, project information events, letter drops and local media to support road users in areas facing a significant impact from the works.

National Highways currently have no planned schemes in Surrey Heath during 2025/26 and have some renewals work planned during 2026/27.
