§ Mr. JamiesonI have asked the Chief Executive of the Highways Agency. Tim Matthews, to write to the hon. Member.
Letter to Mr. Crispin Blunt from David York, dated 15 October 2002:
I have been asked by David Jamieson to reply to your recent question asking when the concrete surface of the M25 between junctions 8 and 9 is to be replaced with quieter materials. I am replying since Tim Matthews is currently away on business.The surface of the M25 between junctions 8 and 9 will be replaced as part of the Government's commitment in the 10 Year Transport Plan to replace all concrete roads with quieter surfaces by 31 March 2011. This section of the M25 is not included in the current 3 year national resurfacing programme for the period 2001/04. The resurfacing programme for the remaining years of the Plan will be formulated as part of future Spending Reviews.
