§ Mr. Peter Bruinvelsasked the Secretary of State for Transport why replacing signs and sign gantries on the M25-M23 interchange is likely to take six months; and whether he will consider a lane rental scheme for this work.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe installation of new signs and gantries has to be carried out in stages if traffic flow is to be maintained. A shorter period would require further traffic restrictions.
A change to a lane-rental scheme now would involve additional cost and delay.
