Mr. Boswell: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what further developments are planned to improve the safety and capacity of junctions on the stretch of the A43 between junction 15A of the M1 and junction 10 of the M40. [144480] Mr. Jamieson: I have asked the Chief Executive of Highways Agency, Mr. Archie Robertson, to write to the hon. Member. Letter from Archie Robertson to Mr. Tim Boswell, dated 18 December 2003: I have been asked by the Transport Minister, David Jamieson to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about what further developments are planned to improve safety and the capacity of junctions on the A43 between Junction 15A of the M1 and Junction 10 of the M40. There were 3 improvement schemes on the A43: A43 M40-- B4031 dualling; A43 Whitfield Turn--Brackley Hatch Improvement and the A43 Silverstone Bypass scheme which were all opened to traffic in September 2002. These schemes have already relieved many of the safety and capacity issues on the A43. Further developments include: A Route Management Strategy (RMS) is currently being developed for the complete length of the A43 trunk road between M1 J15A and M40 J10 as part of an RMS studying the length of the A43 and A45 route between the M40 and A14. An accident analysis study is currently in progress at the A43/M40 J10. This study is due to report in the spring of 2004. A broader ranging study to examine congestion factors at A43/M40 J10 is planned for 2004-05. A study into the short term and long-term options to relieve congestion at A43/A5 Tove junction is due to report in 2004. Investigation of improved traffic signing and road markings at A43 Blisworth/Tiffield junctions. If you would like to discuss any of these issues in more detail, you are welcome to contact the Highways Agency's Route Manager, Steve Davy, 49/53 Goldington Road, Bedford, MK40 3LL or via e-mail at steve.davy@highways.gsi.gov.uk

Mr. Boswell: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions how much of the A43 between the M40 and the M1 is expected to be (a) wholly and (b) partially open by the weekend of 5 to 7 July; and if he will make a statement on action being taken to accelerate the works. [52255] Mr. Jamieson: [holding answer 29 April 2002]: I have asked the chief executive of the Highways Agency, Mr. Tim Matthews, to write to the hon. Member. Letter from Tim Matthews to Mr. Tim Boswell, dated 30 April 2002: I have been asked by the Transport Minister, David Jamieson, to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about the A43 between the M40 and the M1. To help traffic during the British Grand Prix weekend on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th July, at least two lanes of the new Silverstone Bypass between the A413 junction and Dadford Road (the main access to the Circuit) will be available for access by coaches and official race traffic to and from the north. In addition, we aim to use existing A43 through Silverstone, to Towcester Bypass, as a one-way system as we did last year, making four lanes between the A413 junction and Dadford Road available to traffic to and from the north. The new Whitfield Turn and Brackley Hatch section is not sufficiently advanced to be used so we intend to make the existing A43 at Syresham and Pimlico one-way to ensure two-lane access to and from the Circuit from the south on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th July. Traffic not intending to travel to the Grand Prix will be advised by signs, including the variable message signs on the motorway network, to use alternative routes. Traffic using the A43 between Brackley and Towcester, and not going to and from the Grand Prix, will be diverted. The improved A43 between the M40 and B4031 Barley Mow Roundabout will be operating as a two-lane dual carriageway. Junction 10 on the M40 should still be operating in its present form. Overall, there should be at least two lanes between M1 and M40 available for traffic going to and from the Grand Prix. The existing lengths of dual carriageway between M1 (Junction 15A) and the Abthorpe Road roundabout at Towcester and from the Barley Mow roundabout, around Brackley Bypass to Whitfield Turn are unaffected and will operate in their normal way. Ministers consider it important to support the Grand Prix as a showcase for an important UK industry whose success reflects positively on the UK. The Agency, the race organisers, the police and the contractor have successfully adopted a partnered approach to developing an accelerated programme to complete and use as much of the scheme as is required to allow a successful event.

Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Mr. Tim Boswell, dated 27 October 1997: The Minister for Transport in London has asked me to reply to your recent question about traffic on the A43 through Silverstone over the past ten years. The annual average daily flow at Silverstone in 1996 was 20,500 vehicles with 17 per cent. commercial vehicles including buses. Traffic is regularly monitored on A43 between Wood Burcote turn and the A413 (Annex A). Figures for that site are shown at Annex B. A comparison of the 1996 figures show that the flow at the monitoring site is some 17 per cent. higher than the flow through Silverstone. Ten year average daily traffic flow figures.
