uin	116494
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2017 answer text <p>Local authorities are responsible for managing their road networks and have a wide range of tools available to enable them to do so. Pedestrianisation is one option already available for local authorities to consider, but it is for them to determine if it is appropriate at individual sites.</p><p> </p><p>On 26 July the Government launched “The UK Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations”. This document is the UK air quality plan for bringing nitrogen dioxide (NO2) air pollution within statutory limits in the shortest possible time. The plan sets out a wide range of measures that local authorities can consider when developing schemes to address their air quality challenge. The Government’s aim is to make cycling and walking the natural choices for shorter journeys, or as part of a longer journey. To help achieve this, the Department published a Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy in April 2017 which identified £1.2 billion of investment from 2016-21.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 07/12/2017 11:39:23 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

uin	116501
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2017 answer text <p>The Department and Highways England both recognise the importance of connecting rural areas to the rest of the country and invest in the strategic road network accordingly. Highways England’s strategic economic growth plan has identified the reliance of rural tourism and firms that deal with agricultural, raw materials or other large manufactured goods on its network. In Northern Lincolnshire, Highways England completed a £93million scheme to improve the A160/A180 Brocklesby interchange. In East Yorkshire, Highways England plans to improve the A63 Castle Street in Hull; a consultation on this scheme was undertaken in January 2017.</p><p> </p><p>Other roads in rural areas are the responsibility of local highway authorities. The Department announced in July that it would define a Major Road Network, improvements to which could be funded from the National Roads Fund. A public consultation on the details of the Major Road Network and how funds will be allocated is due to commence before the end of the year.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 07/12/2017 11:34:01 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

uin	115861
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2017 answer text <p>Local transport policy is ultimately a matter for local authorities.</p><p> </p><p>Government recognises that local buses are the most commonly used mode of public transport, particularly for older people; and therefore provides for free local bus travel across England to ensure that no older person in England needs to be prevented from bus travel by cost alone.</p><p> </p><p>The Government also funds the thirteen Mobility Centres of England, which support elderly people to keep driving safely or retain mobility. There are also 44 outreach centres.</p><p> </p><p>The Government published its draft Accessibility Action Plan in August for public consultation, which includes a commitment by the Mobility Centres to extend their range of services by creating community ‘hubs’ of knowledge and services that provide advice on how to use public transport in the local area and on disability rail cards, as well as developing dedicated advice staff. The Department will publish its Final Accessibility Action Plan in 2018, following consideration of consultation feedback.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 05/12/2017 13:34:35 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
