Road Traffic
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she has taken with relevant authorities to reduce congestion on roads in a) England and b) Romford constituency.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
In Greater London the Government is working closely with local authorities to support efforts to reduce traffic congestion. We have provided significant funding to support improvements to the capital’s road network. For example, we have provided £54.3 million of funding to the Greater London Authority (GLA) for the Gallows Corner scheme - delivery of this scheme is a matter for the GLA and Transport for London.
More broadly, London boroughs will be eligible for over £272 million of highways maintenance funding over the next four years. This funding will help boroughs plan ahead, adopt preventative maintenance, and improve the long-term condition of their roads.
