The Transport Committee asks for written submissions for its inquiry into Strategic river crossings
The Transport Committee launches an inquiry into strategic river crossings. The inquiry looks closely at the planning, financing and any regenerative effects of different river crossings in the UK.
The Committee would like to know:
- How well does local and national government work together to plan and deliver river crossing projects?
- What knowledge, resources and experience does the public sector need to deliver large, strategically significant river crossing projects?
- What other government priorities, such as new house building, urban regeneration and new business opportunities, can be delivered through additional strategic river crossings?
- Do existing cost-benefit analysis methods adequately capture any potential transformative effects of new river crossings?
- What are the best methods for financing additional river crossings?
- How can the public sector attract greater investment from the private sector for the delivery and maintenance of river crossings?
- Should strategic river crossings be tolled? How should tolling be implemented? How can technology be used to improve strategic river crossings for road users (eg better management of traffic flows)?
Written submissions for this inquiry should be sent via the Strategic river crossings inquiry page.
