Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Robert Jenrick and Alex Chalk

Tuesday 6th November 2018 Commons Chamber

[Alex Chalk (Cheltenham) (Con)]

Motorists want to see the earliest possible end to the traffic misery on the A417 caused by the air balloon pinch point. Does my hon. Friend recognise that the Budget, through its extra firepower for roads, provides the best possible platform for such a vital scheme?

[Robert Jenrick]

I have met my hon. Friend and his Gloucestershire colleagues to discuss this matter. It was with strategic roads and roundabouts, such as the air balloon roundabout, in mind that we made the largest ever investment in our strategic road network. Decisions on specific roads will be made next year.
