Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to improve safety on the A483 in Shropshire.

As referenced in PMQs on October 25 2023, National Highways is conducting extensive study work to understand how the safety performance of the A483 in Shropshire can be improved through a detailed route optimisation study. These proposals will be considered alongside other potential small-scale future targeted safety enhancements to the route as part of RIS3 (2025-2030). At this stage, a more substantive upgrade of the A483 between Pant and Llanymynech remains in the RIS Pipeline of schemes being considered for possible delivery beyond 2030.
