Answer
The Department has responsibility for prioritisation of investment in enhancement on the strategic road network and considers a balance of funding, economic, and strategic factors. These are principally considered through a proposed scheme’s value for money assessment, affordability, deliverability, and alignment to wider government objectives and plans. Prioritisation decisions for local roads are a matter for the relevant local highway authority.
