To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what further steps the Government is taking to situate additional lighting and street furniture on the M6 Heysham link road to enhance road safety.
The Department for Transport allocated Lancashire County Council with £110.9 million towards the total scheme cost of £134.4 million for the M6 to Heysham Link Road, also known as the Bay Gateway.
In addition, the Department for Transport is providing the Council with over £124 million between 2015 and 2021 for local highways maintenance and £4.5 million in 2017/18 through the National Productivity Investment Fund. It will be for Lancashire County Council, as local highway authority, to decide whether they wish to use this funding to provide additional street furniture and lighting for the road if they deem this a priority.

Since work commenced on the smart motorway upgrade on the M6 between junctions 16 and 19 in December 2015, a total of 4 representations from local residents have been made to Highways England in regards to noise from the construction work. These representations were also made to Cheshire East County Council, who made Highways England aware of them.
A further 4 representations have been made concerning an increase in traffic on the A50 to the east of the M6 due to vehicles choosing to divert on to the local road network to avoid the roadworks on the motorway. This concern was also raised with Highways England by Brereton Parish Council.
A number of measures are in place to reduce the disruption to local people including the use of temporary noise screens to minimise noise from excavation works near homes and dust suppression measures. Highways England are in regular communication by letter, email and newsletter with local people to keep them informed about up-coming works.
