Bats
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Lord Adonis on 5 October (WA 392), which Government department paid the £300,000 for the construction of two bridges for bats over the Dobwalls bypass in Cornwall; and what cost-benefit analysis was made of that project before it was undertaken.
- Answer
-
The Highways Agency paid for the two bat bridges over Dobwalls bypass as they are legally bound to protect endangered species such as bats. Dobwalls bypass was subject to the department's normal cost benefit analyses at various stages throughout its design, preparation and construction. The benefit-cost ratio indicates that the project is high value for money.
