Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sheryll Murray and David Gauke

Tuesday 28th February 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mrs Sheryll Murray (South East Cornwall) (Con)]

T4. I have been conducting a survey in my constituency with local campaigners Peter Booth and Nick Craker, and many people have raised concerns about road safety in our towns and villages. Can my right hon. Friend inform me of any additional funding for road safety improvement?

[Mr Gauke]

My hon. Friend makes an important point, and road safety is a key priority for the £15.2 billion road investment strategy. In November 2016 we announced an additional £175 million to improve the 50 most dangerous roads in the country. As she will be aware, Cornwall has received £78 million from the local growth fund, including for investment in local roads.
