answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2020 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has begun a review of traffic order legislation, including the costs and benefits of the current regime and the impact on local authorities of making and applying for their own orders. Work has included research that was carried out in 2019 by the Department for Transport, Geoplace, Ordnance Survey and the British Parking Association. This estimated, for example, that the annual advertising costs for Traffic Orders and Temporary Traffic Orders across all authorities in Great Britain is approximately £49 million. The Department for Transport continued its review later in 2019. We now plan to consult on proposed amendments later in 2020.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 02/03/2020 17:04:11 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
