Written question asked by Lord Patten (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Attlee (Conservative) on Wednesday, 21 December 2011.


Roads: A303

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they expect that the next re-surfacing of the A303 bypass at Wincanton, Somerset, will be carried out using sound-deadening materials.
Answer

The A303 at Wincanton is not currently on the Highways Agency’s forward programme to be resurfaced. However, when the existing carriageway is due for resurfacing, it is the Highways Agency’s current policy to specify low noise surfacing as a matter of course.
