The section of the A15 referred to is a local road and, as such, is the responsibility of Lincolnshire County Council and North Lincolnshire Council, as Local Highway Authorities. The route is not part of the Strategic Road Network, which is managed by Highways England, formerly the Highways Agency.<\/p>

<\/p>

It is for Local Highway Authorities and Local Enterprise Partnerships to consider the benefit of improvement works on their roads, and to source funding to carry out these works, if they see fit.<\/p>

<\/p>

I understand that the two Local Highway Authorities, with the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership, have considered potential benefits of improvement works on the A15. My rt hon Friend may wish to contact them to find out more about their work on this.<\/p>

<\/p>

It would be for the Local Highway Authority to develop and propose any improvements and, if necessary, seek funding from central Government.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, the Department for Transport plans to consult later this year on establishing a Major Road Network, which would include the most important local \u2018A\u2019 roads. A share of the National Roads Fund, funded from 2020 by Vehicle Excise Duty, will be set aside to fund improvements on the Network.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-09-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-09-06T15:38:49.387Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-07-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "A15: Dual Carriageways"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will ask the Highways Agency to undertake an assessment of the benefits of upgrading all or part of the A15 between Lincoln and the M180 motorway to a dual carriageway; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1200", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Greg Knight"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Yorkshire"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sir Greg Knight"} ], "uin" : "5731"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
