To ask the Secretary of State for Transport

(1) if he will assess the case for urgent improvements to the junctions along the A5 in Shrewsbury, specifically throughout Montford and specifically between Montford bridge turn and Shrawardine turn;

(2) what work the Highways Agency are undertaking with regards to improvements to junctions on the A5 in the Montford Parish in the constituency of the hon. Member for Shrewsbury and Atcham.

Government have published plans for a smarter approach to future investment planning, through the development of route based strategies. A uniform set will be produced for the entire network, including the A5 as part of a wider route. When completed, this strategy will help inform the identification of future needs for the route.

The Highways Agency currently has no works or improvements programmed for the A5 in the parish of Montford. They will continue to monitor the route and address issues as appropriate.
