Decision details

The Department for Transport is consulting on proposals for the creation of a Major Road Network (MRN).  Funding for improvements on the MRN will be available through the Government's new National Roads Fund from April 2020.  Subject to a few minor reservations, the County Council is broadly supportive of the approaches proposed for defining the MRN and developing a programme of investment.  This report summarises the Government's proposals and the rationale for the County Council's proposed response, which is set out in Appendix 'A'.  It also identifies locations on the indicative MRN in Lancashire that could benefit from this initiative.

The Cabinet approved the recommendation as set out in the report.
