Motorways: Lighting
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps is her department taking to ensure National Highways includes the views of local residents in stakeholder consultations when deciding to remove lights over motorways.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Department expects National Highways to carry out appropriate consultation where changes to the strategic road network may impact local communities. Where a proposal to remove lighting would directly affect a local community, National Highways would seek residents’ views through stakeholder consultation.
