Road Traffic: Tilbury
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans she has to make funding available for infrastructure upgrades at (a) railway crossings and (b) (i) road and (ii) pedestrian bridges in (A) areas experiencing significant increases in freight traffic and (B) East Tilbury.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Government recognises the benefits that infrastructure upgrades in East Tilbury could bring to the local community. However, we must target our investments to maximise growth and deliver value for taxpayers.
The Spending Review 2025 settlement highlights the Government’s continued commitment to investing in rail and supporting schemes that drive maximum growth. The settlement represents an increase in funding compared with what has been spent on rail enhancements in recent years.
