Road Works: Compensation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to align compensation available to people affected by roadworks with other forms of transport.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
We are focused on tackling the cause of delays. We have raised fines for overruns to up to £10,000 a day. We have recently approved 7 lane rental schemes to charge those who dig up the busiest roads at the busiest times.
