Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will reconsider her decision not to include A27 Chichester improvements in the Roads Investment Strategy.

There are no plans to revisit the decision to remove proposals to improve the A27 at Chichester from the future major enhancements pipeline set out in the Government’s third Road Investment Strategy. National Highways will soon be commencing its Route Strategies process, which is the key evidence gathering mechanism to inform future investment on the network. The case for any future improvements to the A27 will be informed by this work.
