David Morris – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by David Morris on 2016-03-03.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of potential increases to the port usage of Heysham after the new Heysham M6 link road is completed; and if he will make a statement.

Andrew Jones

None. As this is a local road and not part of the Strategic Road Network, the assessment was carried out by Lancashire County Council. However, the scheme will certainly improve access to the Port and improve accessibility for related local businesses.
