Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Lewer and Jesse Norman

Thursday 24th May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Lewer (Northampton South) (Con)]

T6. With increasing house building near the strategic road networks on the edge of Northampton, what steps is the Department taking to finish the second phase of the north-west ring road?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport (Jesse Norman)]

As part of the local growth deal, the Government have already provided nearly £8 million of funding for the construction of phase 1 of the Northampton north-west relief road. We work closely with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to ensure that investment in this infrastructure and others helps to unlock new homes and create workable, sustainable communities.
