Statement from Highways Agency Submitted

The
following is a statement Statement from Highways Agency Submitted
on 19th Dec 2007
to the Leiecter Forest East Parish Council
In 2007, we carried out a public consultation on two new options
to link the M1 at Junction 21 with the M69 in the Leicester
Forest East area.
At present, we are working on options that
are very similar to those presented at the public exhibition
in March 2007 (known as Options 5 and 6; you can see these
by visiting www.highways.gov.uk/M1eastmidlands). We have recently
been making slight adjustments to Options 5 and 6 to ensure
less land is taken by the project. We are also working with
the utility companies to minimise the knock-on effects of
the scheme on their plant under the proposed development area.
This work will be completed in 2008. Once this work has been
completed, we will move onto the next stage of preparing our
Preferred Route. This is likely to take place in autumn 2008.
Arup on behalf of the Highways Agency.

need for more Lanes Lane Hog
Lane Hogging is one of the things that motorists find most
irritating. In this film John Stapleton investigates how widespread
the problem is and what drivers can do to improve it. Use
the lanes correctly and additional ones are not required
