M1
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make it her policy to deliver a new M1 to A6 Link Road near to Streatley in Mid Bedfordshire.
Answered by Department for Transport
The M1 to A6 Link Road scheme received Full Approval from the Department for Transport in 2021, which confirmed a maximum funding contribution of £32.75 million as part of the Major Road Network/Large Local Majors Programme. The Department's funding contribution is fixed and no further Departmental funding is available for the scheme.
The scheme is promoted by Central Bedfordshire Council, which is responsible for providing the remaining funds as well as delivering the scheme. Decisions on how to deliver the project are a matter for Central Bedfordshire Council and its delivery partners.
