Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 16 June 2025 to Question 59057 on Roads and Roundabouts: Northumberland, how many direct representations her Department has received from (a) officials and (b) elected representatives of Northumberland County Council on (i) the Road Investment Strategy, (ii) Moor Farm roundabout and (iii) Seaton Burn roundabout in the last 12 months.

The Department for Transport has received no formal representations from officials or elected representatives at Northumberland County Council on the Road Investment Strategy, Moor Farm Roundabout or Seaton Burn roundabout in the last 12 months. However in addition to representations set out in my answer of 16 June to question 59057, National Highways has confirmed that representatives from Northumberland County Council have attended formal Stakeholder Reference Group meetings in September 2024, and have contributed to the development of the strategic case for the proposals to improve Moor Farm and Seaton Burn Roundabouts in the RIS Pipeline.
