Written Question
M1: Nottinghamshire
Thursday 7th July 2016

Asked by: Maggie Throup (Conservative - Erewash)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of a new Junction 25A on the M1.

Answered by Andrew Jones

Proposals to improve the Strategic Road Network post-2020 will be considered as we prepare the second Road Investment Strategy – which was announced at Budget 2016. As part of the evidence-gathering process, Highways England is revisiting its Route Strategies to examine issues right across the Network. MPs and stakeholders are encouraged to engage with the process. Any specific proposals to address issues identified, such as additional junctions, will need to be prioritised and represent good value for money.

"But we are talking about £150,000 for Erewash Community Transport, so the council would not need to manage its finances much better to pay for that service. I therefore disagree with the hon. Gentleman. It is quite well within Derbyshire County Council’s ability to fund the service for longer.

I …..."
