To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what financial arrangements and contractual agreements exist with the owners of Lydden Hill Race Circuit and the former Folkestone Racecourse concerning the management of possible traffic congestion in Kent resulting from the EU Entry Exit System.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what financial arrangements and contractual agreements exist with the owners of Lydden Hill Race Circuit and the former Folkestone Racecourse concerning the management of possible traffic congestion in Kent resulting from the EU Entry Exit System.
As part of preparations to mitigate the risk of potential disruption during Summer 2026, the Kent and Medway Resilience Forum (KMRF) identified the need to have contingency sites available to provide welfare facilities to passenger vehicles in the case of severe disruption. These sites support the Forum's wider traffic management plans to maintain traffic flow and minimise disruption on Kent's road network. The sites used were at Lydden Hill Race Circuit and Folkstone Racecourse.
The Department for Transport (DfT) has worked closely with the KMRF to support their preparations, although the use and deployment of these sites by KMRF is operationally independent from the Department. DfT has put in place agreements with the owners of Lydden Hill and Folkstone Racecourse to enable these sites to be used as contingency sites over the summer period.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what was the cost of the temporary acquisition of both Lydden Hill Race Circuit and the former Folkestone Racecourse in anticipation of EU Entry Exit System traffic congestion in Kent during summer 2026.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what key performance indicators National Highways will use to measure the effectiveness of incident management on the Lower Thames Crossing.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what key performance indicators National Highways will use to measure the effectiveness of incident management on the Lower Thames Crossing.
The Government has indicated that its preferred funding model for the Lower Thames Crossing is through a Regulated Asset Base (RAB) model. Nevertheless, the Lower Thames Crossing will remain part of the Strategic Road Network (SRN), and the effectiveness of its incident management will be measured using National Highways’ metrics. Under the RAB model however, the targets are likely to be set and monitored by the Regulator and managed through a licence that would be put in place.
Operational incident response plans for the Lower Thames Crossing would still be developed with the relevant Local Authorities and emergency services throughout the project’s construction phase. These comprehensive plans would still be published ahead of the road opening to ensure incidents are managed to the same high standards that apply across the rest of the SRN.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of incidents on the Lower Thames Crossing on traffic volumes in South Basildon and East Thurrock.

We expect that the Lower Thames Crossing will be operated as an integrated part of the Strategic Road Network. Incident response plans will be developed with local authorities and emergency services during construction, which will be published before opening. In the event of a closure, drivers would be informed through signs, signals, and channels such as sat nav, social media, and radio to support informed journey decisions.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the time required to restore normal traffic flow following incidents of varying severity on the Lower Thames Crossing.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Lower Thames Crossing on local road usage in villages surrounding the route after the scheme becomes operational.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Lower Thames Crossing on local road usage in villages surrounding the route after the scheme becomes operational.
As part of the statutory planning process, National Highways used a strategic transport model to assess the likely effects of the Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) on local road use, including in South Basildon and East Thurrock, during both the construction and operational phases. The assessment informed the Development Consent Order application and the examination of the scheme's impacts.
The assessment of forecast changes to the road network once the project is operational is set out in Chapter 7 of the LTC Transport Assessment, with the assessment for the construction phase detailed in Chapter 8. Both impacts are also shown within the LTC Community Impacts Report. Construction impacts are being managed through control documents, including the Framework Construction Travel Plan and the Outline Traffic Management Plan. Once operational, impacts will be monitored in line with the Wider Network Impacts Management and Monitoring Plan.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to reduce congestion on key commuter routes in the West Midlands.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to reduce congestion on key commuter routes in the West Midlands.
The Government is supporting improvements to public transport connectivity across the West Midlands through the £2.4 billion Transport for City Regions settlement allocated to the West Midlands Combined Authority through to 2031/32.
This devolved funding gives the Combined Authority, and the Mayor, the flexibility to determine local transport investment priorities, including those that improve connectivity and help tackle congestion on key commuter routes across the region.

The Lower Thames Crossing will be operated as an integrated part of the Strategic Road Network (SRN). Incident response plans will be developed with local authorities and emergency services during construction and published before opening. These will cover tunnel systems, roadside technology and traffic management across the wider network, consistent with National Highways’ coordinated SRN approach, including the 2021 CLEAR Keep Traffic Moving incident management plan agreed with emergency services. They will work with key responders to minimise incident impacts through an integrated and coordinated approach across the SRN, which will also apply to the Lower Thames Crossing.
Drivers would be informed of closures through signs and signals across the wider network and through channels such as sat nav, in-car systems, social media, press and radio, supporting informed journey decisions.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with National Highways on whether they will publish diversion routes for major incidents affecting the Lower Thames Crossing before the road opens.
