Work has started on the M20, and it is presently running to schedule. Highways England is confident this work will be completed in line with the agreed timescale, by March 2019.</p><p> </p><p>Highways England have also been tasked with providing a long term solution to traffic delays caused by cross channel disruption and they are undergoing a public consultation which finishes on 22 July, progress on this is also going according to plan.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/07/2018 13:44:25 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
