answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2024 answer text <p>National Highways has already undertaken trials to monitor the noise generated by concrete road surfaces following surface treatments (including Next Generation Concrete Surfacing) and the noise generated by other types of road surface. The outcome of the trials indicated that using low noise surface material versus Next Generation Concrete Surfacing does not result in a materially different amount of noise.</p><p> </p><p>Due to the cost and disruption, replacing the existing sections of concrete road surface in the Runnymede and Weybridge constituency with a low-noise material is not being pursued until it is required (predicted to be after 2040). However, Next Generation Concrete Surfacing will be undertaken across the M25 from 2026 to 2039.</p> answering member constituency Nottingham South answering member printed Lilian Greenwood question first answered 17/10/2024 15:34:05 answering member 4029 label Biography information for Lilian Greenwood

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many EV charging points there are in South Basildon and East Thurrock constituency; and what estimate her Department has made of the potential demand for the future installation of such charging points.
tabling member constituency	South Basildon and East Thurrock
tabling member printed	James McMurdock
uin	9088
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2024 answer text <p>Data on electric vehicle charging devices in the UK, held by the Department for Transport (DfT), are sourced from those installed or funded under Government approved grant schemes and from the electric vehicle charging platform Zapmap. The latest data available for the South Basildon and East Thurrock parliamentary constituency is at 1 July 2024, and reflects the constituency boundary at that point. This shows there were 15 public charging devices and that the Government has historically supported installation of 401 residential chargepoints, plus 41 workplace charging sockets. DfT does not collect data on private household charging except when installed or funded under a Government grant, therefore the true number of charging devices may be higher than recorded in these figures.</p><p> </p><p>To support the electric vehicle transition more charging infrastructure will be needed across the country. The exact number in a location will depend on a variety of factors such as availability of off-street parking, future charging behaviour and local driving patterns.</p><p> </p><p>South Basildon and East Thurrock constituency is part of Thurrock Council and Essex County Council. Under the Government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund, Thurrock Council has been allocated £843,000 in capital and resource funding and Essex County Council has been allocated £9,102,000. This will help them work with industry to rollout additional local public chargepoints supporting future demand.</p> answering member constituency Nottingham South answering member printed Lilian Greenwood question first answered 18/10/2024 10:04:41 answering member 4029 label Biography information for Lilian Greenwood
