M60: Floods
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of trends in the level of surface flooding due to inadequate drainage on the M60 motorway.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
National Highways’ data shows the number of reported flooding events have decreased on the M60 motorway in recent years. This follows targeted investigations by National Highways and the implementation of measures to reduce flooding risks.
National Highways undertakes regular inspections and maintenance to keep drainage systems functioning effectively. It has also delivered several improvement schemes on the M60 and plans to start further upgrades later this financial year.
