The Highways Agency (HA) is developing Route-Based Strategies for the strategic road network as the basis for the infrastructure investment plans heralded by the Government after the last Budget in Investing in Britain’s Future.
The HA is producing evidence reports for each of the 18 routes that make up the strategic road network. These are available at https://www.highways.gov.uk/route-based-strategies
One of the routes of particular importance to businesses in Norfolk is the ‘East of England’ route, which covers the A47, A11, A12 and A120.
In connection with that route the Department for Transport is currently conducting a feasibility study into the A12/A47 corridor from Lowestoft to Peterborough with a view to establishing the economic and employment benefits to prioritise further investment. To provide evidence for the feasibility study, Norfolk and Suffolk Chambers of Commerce have been asked to survey their members about their use of the route.
If you are a regular business user of the A12/A47 between Norwich and Lowestoft or beyond, we would therefore very much value your responses to a few questions by Wednesday 26 March 2014.
The road use survey will only take a few minutes of your time and can be completed here.
