Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will make an assessment of the value of the A19 to the promotion of economic growth and regeneration in Easington constituency.
The Department’s Transport Investment Strategy recognises that high performing infrastructure can drive economic growth across the country. To inform our decisions about future investment in the strategic road network, Highways England’s 18 route strategies and strategic economic growth plan, published in March, have assessed how the performance of all parts of the network, including the A19 through Easington, can promote growth.
