A21: Repairs and Maintenance

Volume 462: debated on Tuesday 10 July 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what her plans are for the A21 upgrade between Flimwell and Robertsbridge; and if she will make a statement. (148774)

None. Under the regional funding allocation process it is for regions to advise the Government on schemes, which in their view, should be prioritised for funding. Ministers then take decisions on whether to accept that advice. In the case of the south east we have agreed in full to the recommendations made by the South East Regional Transport Board (RTB) for the period up to 2016. The proposed A21 upgrade between Flimwell and Robertsbridge has not been prioritised by the South East RTB in that period.
