Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Answer of 20 April 2017 to Question 70178, how much of the £175 million allocated to local highways authorities will be spent on improving road safety on the A19.

The £175m Safer Roads Fund targets the 50 local authority 'A' road sections in England that carry the highest risk of death and serious injury to road users, based on analysis by the Road Safety Foundation. The list of the 50 highest risk road sections, published in January 2017, can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/roads-funding-information-pack.

The sections of the A19 that are the responsibility of local highway authorities do not feature within this top 50 list and so are not eligible for the Safer Roads Fund.
