Summary of Responses
This report provides a summary of the responses received by the Highways Agency to its consultation on a proposed new Policy for Service Areas and Other Roadside Facilities on Motorways and All-Purpose Trunk Roads in England. The views represented are those of consultees, not those of the Highways Agency or the Department for Transport (unless clearly indicated); and nothing in this summary should be taken to imply that decisions have been taken on any aspect of the policy review.
The Government wishes to see the provision of roadside facilities maintained and the proposed policy aims to enhance this provision, so as to improve services for motorists and lorry drivers, but not so as service areas become destinations in their own right.
To inform the development of the policy a call for evidence was issued in November 2006. Responses from the public, interested organisations and the industry were submitted by February 2007 and were summarised and published on the Highways Agency website.
Taking account of the responses to the call for evidence, a draft policy document was produced and published for consultation. The consultation ran for six weeks, beginning on 29th October 2007 and concluding on 11th December 2007.
