Transport: Repairs and Maintenance

Volume 487: debated on Monday 9 February 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what projects his Department has undertaken to extend public transport infrastructure since 2003; and what measures have been taken to ensure that the infrastructure is adequately maintained over that period. (253183)

The following table gives a breakdown of all Local Major Public Transport schemes supported by the Department for Transport. It does not include improvements to, or extensions of the road network, unless these are specifically for the purposes of public transport. Officials are in regular communication with local authority counterparts and measures are included in agreements of funding to ensure that maintenance is satisfactory. My earlier answer (UIN 235182) also showed the considerable amount of money that the Department provides for maintenance of the existing network.
