Earl Attlee

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are satisfied with the "A" road system in East Sussex. [HL4059]

Lord Whitty

This Government's 1998 roads review "A New Deal for Trunk Roads in England" recognised the problems on the trunk road network as a whole, including those in East Sussex. As a result of that comprehensive review, the Government are taking forward among others the A.27 Polegate Bypass scheme and two strategic multi-modal studies, one along the South Coast and one looking at access to Hastings. These studies will look at among other things the roles played by the A.21, A.27 and A.259.
