The first Road Investment Strategy brought over £15bn of investment to England\u2019s strategic roads between 2015-2020. This included a number of schemes improving many of the strategic road links on the Reading-Gatwick road corridor.<\/p>

At Budget 2018, the Chancellor announced that the National Roads Fund will be £28.8 billion from 2020-2025. We expect £25.3 billion of this will fund the Roads Investment Strategy 2, which is the largest ever investment in England\u2019s strategic roads.<\/p>

The government recognises the problems caused by disposable cups, which are difficult to recycle and often littered. The government\u2019s view is that a levy on all cups would not at this time be effective in encouraging widespread reuse.<\/p>

Businesses are already taking steps to limit their environmental impact, but the government expects industry to go further, and we will return to the issue if sufficient progress is not made.<\/p>
