Sir Simon Burns (Chelmsford) (Con):
Does my right hon. Friend agree that thousands of road commuters, including many of my constituents who use the A12, are travelling on roads that need to be repaired and upgraded? To improve connectivity and to speed up daily commute times, does she accept that the proposed £1.3 billion investment in improving our road network is warmly welcome and will do a great deal to enhance connectivity in the country?
My right hon. Friend is absolutely right about the importance of infrastructure expenditure in helping to deal with productivity in our economy, and I am pleased that that £1.3 billion for new roads does show us investing in the long-term future for Britain. It is about delivering jobs and economic growth, and about making sure that this economy works for everyone. It is just one part of the package that we are proposing, but of course my right hon. Friend the Chancellor will be setting our proposals out more clearly in a few minutes’ time.
Will my right hon. Friend accept that my constituents warmly welcome the investment that is being made in upgrading the A12 to three lanes? Is he in a position to advise me on when he expects phase 1, from the M25 to Margaretting on the southern border of Chelmsford, to commence and progress?

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for making that point. In December 2014, the Government announced a scheme to widen the A12 from junction 28 of the M25 to the Chelmsford bypass. The scheme will be developed in the first roads period from April 2015 to March 2020, to be ready for construction in the next roads period. We expect the next roads period to run from April 2020 to March 2025.

Table RAS30043 of ‘Reported Road Casualties: Great Britain’, available at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/239774/ras30043.xls
provides the number of pedal cycle casualties by severity (fatalities, casualties killed or seriously injured, and all casualties) in reported road accidents for each local authority in England for 2010 to 2012. The table shows there were 263 casualties and three fatalities in Essex in 2012. Statistics for the Chelmsford constituency show 23 casualties in 2012, with no fatalities, a reduction from 41 casualties in 2011. Statistics for reported road casualties in 2013 will be available in June 2014.
The safety of cyclists is very important to the Government and it has committed £278 million of funding directly for cycling; this funding supports local authorities across England to deliver schemes to promote and improve safe cycling. Included in the funding is £35 million that delivers junction improvements to improve the safety of cyclists; in addition to the continued support of Bikeablity cycle training that aims to improve cyclists' road sense and safety. As well as the funding detailed above, 94 out of 96 Local Sustainable Transport Fund projects include cycling as an element in their delivery programmes; these 94 projects receive a total of £535 million of DFT funding. In October we launched our first paid-for THINK! Campaign: ‘THINK CYCLIST’ “Let's Look Out For Each Other”.
The Government, through the reduction of bureaucracy and supporting changes in regulations, has made it easier for local authorities to implement 20 mph zones, ‘Trixi’ mirrors and highway measures to support cycle safety. In addition we are working with local authorities and Transport for London on trialling innovative schemes to improve cycle safety at junctions; as well as supporting the European Union to improve lorry design standards. The Department for Transport has a Cycle Safety Forum to bring together partners with a shared goal of enhancing cycle safety; members include ACPO, cycling stakeholders, motoring and freight organisations.
