| From Hansard: Tobias Ellwood (Shadow Minister, Culture, Media & Sport; Bournemouth East, Conservative): To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what his policy is on dualling the A303 in the area of Stonehenge; and if he will make a statement. Paul Clark (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Transport; Gillingham, Labour): In December 2007 the Government announced the cancellation of the A303 Stonehenge improvement scheme due to a significant escalation in scheme costs. Following our decision to give regions a greater role in determining priorities for major transport schemes with indicative allocations, it is for the south west region to advise on the relative priority of improvements to the A303 alongside other proposed schemes in the region. The region's recent advice on its funding priorities recommends an allocation for localised improvements of the A303, to be identified through a study to be undertaken by the Highways Agency, but this does not include dualling the A303 in the area of Stonehenge or elsewhere on the route. We expect to be in a position to respond to the advice from the region by the summer. http://www.publications.parlia[...]/90429w0006.htm#09042956000992 Reply | with quote |  1st May 2009ce 19:46 |
