§ Dr. Liam FoxTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport who has responsibility for the A369 at junction 19 of the M5 during and subsequent to the widening of the motorway.
§ Mr. KeyAvon county council is the highway authority for the A369 and the roundabout at M5 junction 19. The Secretary of State for Transport is the highway authority for the slip roads which are part of the M5 motorway.
Phase 1 of the motorway widening works, provision of four lanes between junctions 18 and 19, will not change these responsibilities. In the longer term, highway authority boundaries may need to be reviewed if and when the junction configuration changes as part of the subsequent phases.
