Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he is satisfied with the quality of the information that his Department has given to motorists during the A55/A483 upgrade project.
I am satisfied that Highways England has provided information of the appropriate quality for motorists. Prior to construction work starting, a public exhibition was held on 5 September 2014, with a further public exhibition on 11 December 2014.
Throughout the project, other information has been provided for motorists via:
· Local radio messages, live radio interviews advising motorists to use alternative routes;
· On-site visitor centre;
· Temporary roadside signs;
· Portable electronic message signs on the M56 Motorway just before the junction with the M53 (the M53 continues as the A55);
· Press releases and Twitter feed updates.
