It is the responsibility of each highway authority to determine whether to do so or not based on their own policies and procedures. However, the Department for Transport will look for opportunities to highlight the issue to local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/11/2017 16:29:08 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
