National Highways has launched an online feedback tool
for road users and those who live near to England’s motorways and
major A roads to give their views on where investment is needed the
most.
The strategic road network managed by National Highways (formerly
Highways England) stretches over 4,300 miles and connects the
UK’s major towns and cities and represents the core our of
national transport system.
Our roads are vital in enabling businesses to transport products
and services, providing access to jobs and suppliers, and
facilitating trade and investment across the country as well as
providing essential links for leisure and connecting people and
places.
The online tool has been
developed as part of our engagement process for Route Strategies
which is one activity used to inform the government’s decisions
on future road investment. As well as capturing public feedback
the database will be used to record engagement with local
government and transport authorities, as well as other interested
parties.
Elliot Shaw, Executive Director, Strategy and Planning, said:
At National Highways we are constantly challenging ourselves to
seek out ways to improve the experience of those who use our
roads and the communities who live nearby.
The new easy-to-use online tool provides everyone from
commuters, professional road users, nearby residents and
community groups to comment.
I urge you to provide feedback on what is important to you – a
specific location on England’s motorways or major A roads, a
longer route or general feedback about our road network. This
is your opportunity to help inform the long-term vision for the
future of our roads.
Together with input from a wide range of other stakeholders
feedback will be used to inform recommendations and investment
plans going forward for the Department for Transport’s next Road
Investment Strategies (RIS3 2025 - 2030).
The online tool is open for feedback until 30 November 2021.
