Water: Pollution
Asked by: Brian Mathew (Liberal Democrat - Melksham and Devizes) Thursday 11th December 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her department monitors the impact of highway runoff on rivers and lakes. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Environment Agency (EA) has a monitoring regime that sets out to identify pressures on rivers and lakes as well as estuaries and coasts and groundwaters. This involves monitoring (of water quality, chemicals and ecology) to determine reasons for not achieving good ecological or chemical status. This includes understanding the risk posed by the category ‘Urban and transport’, which road runoff is a key component of.
Monitoring undertaken is not designed to specifically monitor the impact of highway runoff on rivers and lakes. The EA is working with National Highways under the Department for Transport, to evolve its monitoring strategy that is to be focused on highways outfalls, where highway runoff enters watercourses. |

Roads: Pollution Control
Asked by: Brian Mathew (Liberal Democrat - Melksham and Devizes) Tuesday 16th December 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her department monitors the discharge of highway runoff entering rivers along the network. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) National Highways carries out targeted monitoring at key locations on the strategic road network and is working with the Environment Agency to develop a further monitoring strategy. National Highways also has its 2030 Water Quality Plan setting out what it is doing to tackle potential pollution to the water environment from its highest risk outfalls and soakaways. Water runoff from local roads is a matter for local highway authorities. |
