Written Question
Cycleways
Monday 11th September 2017

Asked by: Mims Davies (Conservative - East Grinstead and Uckfield)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps the Government is taking to promote the use of cycle paths.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

As with all local cycling infrastructure, local authorities are best placed to promote cycle paths in their area, which offer cyclists an alternative to cycling in the carriageway.

However, the decision to use a path will depend on the individual cyclist. While they can be attractive to some cyclists, particularly less confident cyclists, cycle paths may not always be convenient for experienced cyclists.

Written Question
Roads: Repairs and Maintenance
Monday 13th March 2017

Asked by: Mims Davies (Conservative - East Grinstead and Uckfield)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the effectiveness of the use by local authorities of central government grants to tackle potholes.

Answered by Andrew Jones

The Department’s annual road condition statistics suggest that the condition of our roads is improving. The Department’s analysis estimated that the Highways Maintenance Block funding to local authorities provided very high value for money, with a Benefit Cost Ratio of just over 7. However no specific evaluation has been undertaken on the effectiveness of the use by local authorities of central government grants to tackle potholes.
