Chris Chope seeks clarity on the impact of the Streetspace Scheme from the Secretary of State for Transport:
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with Transport for London on its policy on restrictions on road space through the Streetspace scheme.
Rachel Maclean Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The responsibility for transport in London, including the Streetspace scheme, is devolved to the Mayor of London and Transport for London. Local authorities are responsible for ensuring that local decisions about street infrastructure take account of the needs and opinions of local people. The Department is not responsible for policing what local authorities implement on their roads.
