Asked by:
Neil Carmichael (Conservative - Stroud)
Question
to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress the Highways Agency has made on noise mitigation measures on the M5 at Upton St. Leonards.
Answered by Andrew Jones
The main measures to mitigate noise are new road surfacing and noise barriers. Highways England has three resurfacing schemes in their forward programme for this area. The resurfacing will be done after essential repairs to bridge structures have been completed to avoid disruption to users of the M5.
Later this month works to inspect the condition of the noise fence from junction 11A to Gloucester Painswick bridge which covers the Upton St Leonards section of the M5 motorway will start and opportunities for a temporary noise barrier looked at.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to promote the training of HGV drivers; and what steps he is taking to encourage young people to enter the logistics industry in support of the manufacturing, engineering, food production and retail sectors.
