Oral Answers to Questions

"Buses are lifelines, and for four years we have worked incredibly hard in south Yorkshire to transform our services for the better. We have rightly been ambitious, putting forward a strong levelling-up fund bid and an excellent bus service improvement plan, but the Government supported neither. What advice can the …..."

Highway Code
Monday 16th May 2022

Asked by: Dan Jarvis (Labour - Barnsley North)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to inform road users of changes made to The Highway Code.

Answered by Trudy Harrison

The changes to The Highway Code to help improve road safety for people walking, cycling and horse riding are being communicated in two phases:

  • A factual awareness raising campaign ran in February and March, alerting road users to the changes as they came into effect.
  • A broader behaviour change campaign will launch later this year, to align with seasonal increases in active travel, to help embed the changes and encourage understanding and uptake of the new guidance.

Both phases of the campaign include a significant media spend, utilising channels such as radio, digital audio and social media advertising.

I congratulate the hon. Member for Rother Valley (Alexander Stafford) on securing this important debate, but …..."

Public Transport Authority for South Yorkshire

"The hon. Gentleman raises an important point in terms of getting detailed feedback from the Government. He may have received that; we have not. Let us be honest about it: it would be foolish and naive of anybody not to assert that this is a political decision taken by the …..."

Public Transport Authority for South Yorkshire

"So let us get detailed feedback from the Government as to why they did not want to put money into what was a detailed, ambitious proposal. A huge amount of time and investment was put into it; frankly, it is not the case that it was not ambitious. That is …..."

Public Transport Authority for South Yorkshire

"I hope the hon. Gentleman has clocked that the South Yorkshire passenger transport executive is being subsumed into the mayoral combined authority, and what we are waiting for is Government time so that the order can go through this place to complete that process. That is something I decided was …..."
