Whilst the Department has no current plan to improve road safety specifically in Herefordshire, the Department\u2019s Safer Roads Fund will benefit the wider area. In 2017 £2.16 million was awarded to improve the A4173 in Gloucestershire and in 2018 £3.89 million was awarded to improve the A529 in Shropshire. These improvements will also benefit the constituents of Hereford as they travel further afield.<\/p>
<\/p>
In July 2019, the Government published the Road Safety Statement 2019: \u2018A Lifetime of Road Safety. This includes a two-year action plan to address a range of road safety issues which will improve safety for all road users, including establishing a working group to address rural road safety issues.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4668", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rachel Maclean"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Redditch"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Rachel Maclean"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2020-07-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2020-07-01T14:43:53.62Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2020-06-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Roads: Rural Areas"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans his Department has to improve road safety in (a) Herefordshire and (b) other rural areas.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1428", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Bill Wiggin"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Herefordshire"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Bill Wiggin"} ], "uin" : "63236"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1216820", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1216820/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
