Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to dual the A17 between Newark and Sleaford.
Answered by Andrew Jones
The A17 forms part of the local road network and is the responsibility of Lincolnshire County Council and Nottinghamshire County Council. Responsibility for maintenance of the road rests with the relevant Local Highway Authority. Plans for future improvement and requests for funding are matters for the relevant Local Highway Authorities to put forward to their relevant Local Enterprise Partnerships.
