Local highway authorities have a duty under Section 41 of the Highways Act 1980 to maintain the highways network in their area. This includes the cutting of grass, verges, shrubs and trees. It is for each individual local highway authority to decide on the number of times that grass verges should be cut and the quality of the cut based upon their local knowledge and other circumstances including taking into account safety, environmental and conservation considerations.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department for Transport encourages good practice in highway maintenance through channels such as \u2018Well-maintained Highways', the Code of Practice for highway maintenance by the UK Roads Liaison Group. It is available at the following weblink: www.ukroadsliaisongroup.org<\/a>. The Code advises local authorities on a wide range of highways maintenance issues, including grass cutting and highway verge management. Central Government has no powers to override local decisions in these matters.<\/p>

The Rt. Hon. Member will be aware that many areas of transport policy, such as ports, are devolved to the Executive.<\/p>

The Chancellor announced in this year's Budget that funding to maintain existing air connectivity to London \u2013 first announced in the 2013 Spending Round last June \u2013 will increase from £10million to £20million per year. It would also be expanded to include provision for start-up aid for new air routes from UK regional airports, including those in Northern Ireland, which handle fewer than five million passengers per year. The Department will publish guidance that will clarify how the Government will expect to interpret the European Union State aid guidelines on start-up aid for new air routes, and explain how the funding process will operate across the UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

Previously, reflecting the wishes of the Northern Ireland Executive, the Government devolved to Northern Ireland the power to set Air Passenger Duty rates for long haul flights departing Northern Ireland. The zero rate for direct long haul flights departing from Northern Ireland took effect from 1 January 2013. This enables airports in Northern Ireland to compete effectively with airports in the Republic of Ireland.<\/p>

In the current 2014/15 financial year, the Highways Agency has an allocation of £11.25 million for maintenance of the A64.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, the Agency's Managing Agent Contractors are paid a "lump sum" for a wide range of general maintenance duties, which includes works on the A64. The proportion of the costs that is spent on the A64 cannot be specified as the Agency does not disaggregate this "lump sum" budget.<\/p>
