	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

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

	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

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2018 answer text <p>We want people across the country to have the opportunity to make the move to electric vehicles (EVs). The vast majority of EV drivers choose to charge their cars at home, overnight, or increasingly at the workplace, but public charging is still important.</p><p> </p><p>Higher powered charging technology (above 150 kW) has been developed in response to increasing sizes of car batteries, and although no EV models that can currently charge at that rate are commercially available in the UK, they are expected to be later this year. Some vehicle manufacturers, such as the Ionity group, are already investing in order to make these high powered chargers publicly available.</p><p> </p><p>The UK already has more than 900 rapid chargepoints, one of the largest networks in Europe. The Government has put in place a range of grant schemes to support the installation of charging infrastructure - on-street, off-street and at workplaces that are available in any urban or rural areas UK-wide. In addition, under the Government’s Go Ultra Low City Scheme £22.9m has been allocated to support the installation of infrastructure currently being procured and installed in several UK cities and surrounding rural areas. One of these cities, York, is currently exploring the installation of high-powered charging.</p><p> </p><p>At Autumn Budget 2017, the Chancellor announced a new £400m electric vehicle Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund. This funding could include supporting rapid chargers in both rural and urban areas, and more detail on how the Fund will be administered will be published in due course. The Government is also taking powers through the Automated and Electric Vehicle Bill to ensure the roll-out of electric vehicle infrastructure at key locations like motorway service areas and large fuel stations, which again could involve both urban and more rural areas.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 02/03/2018 14:26:39 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
