HC Deb 19 January 1994 vol 235 cc671-3W
Mr. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment for which local authorities the figures to be used for calculating the standard spending assessments assume a reduced level of traffic; and what evidence exists that the traffic levels have actually reduced there since the previous figures were calculated.

Mr. Baldry

[holding answer 14 January 1994]: The authorities with a reduction in annual average traffic flows on principal roads as calculated for the purposes of 1993–94 and 1994–95 provisional standard spending assessments respectively are listed in the table. The figures used in the calculation of SSAs are estimates of the annual average flow of all motor vehicles on principal roads—excluding principal motorways—for which the authority is the highway authority. They are based on data from the Department of Transport's traffic census.
