To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will give details of the amount of funding available for (a) traffic calming and (b) entry treatments along the length of the red route.

Because the red route pilot scheme is being used as a demonstration project the Department has agreed to meet the full cost of associated measures on local roads. We expect to pay about £0·6 million for traffic calming and £1·2 million for entry treatment.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many representations he has received regarding the red route through Islington; how many were in favour; and how many against.

I have received several representations about the red route pilot scheme. Some have been supportive, others less so. Many have concentrated on specific aspects of the scheme and have resulted in modifications being made.
