Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what new proposals he has to improve (a) safety and (b) traffic flows on the A1079 in East Yorkshire; and if he will make a statement.
A scheme to improve the A1079 at Wilberfoss is in the Department’s Major Road Network programme of Local Authority promoted schemes. My officials are awaiting additional information from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the scheme’s promoter, following which advice will be provided to Ministers on whether the scheme should be approved for funding. A further scheme, the A164 Jock's Lodge Junction Improvement Scheme which would improve the A164/A1079 junction, is also in our programme of Local Authority promoted schemes. The Final Business case is scheduled to be submitted later this year.
