Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of building a westerly relief road around Bromsgrove.

It is for the local authority to identify which local road schemes should be proposed and progressed as part of their strategic transport plans. It would therefore be for Worcestershire County Council to bring forward any plans for a westerly bypass for Bromsgrove, should it wish to do so.
