Government scraps major road improvement scheme The government has scrapped a major road project in Surrey.
官员们确认,他们正在终止A31法纳姆走廊计划,一位当地议员表示该计划将改善“该地区最重要且最拥堵的道路之一”。
Officials confirmed they were ending the A31 Farnham Corridor scheme, which a local MP said would have improved "one of the area's most important and congested roads".
法纳姆和博登的保守党议员格雷戈里·斯塔福德称这一决定是“背叛”,并“辜负”了选民。
Gregory Stafford, Conservative MP for Farnham and Bordon, called the decision a "betrayal" that had "failed" constituents.
交通部发言人表示,之前的保守党政府“未为这些项目提供资金”。
A Department for Transport spokesperson said the previous Conservative government "did not fund these projects".
“鉴于我们继承的艰难财政形势,我们不得不在多个道路项目上做出艰难决定,只能推进对纳税人具有良好性价比的方案。”发言人补充称,政府将“通过超过10亿英镑的资金支持司机,用于16项将为当地人带来最大收益的重大道路项目”。
"Given the challenging financial picture we inherited, we have had to make difficult decisions on a number of road projects and can only progress schemes that are good value for money for taxpayers." The spokesperson added the government was "backing drivers with over £1bn for 16 major road schemes that will deliver the most benefits to local people.
“此外,还将投入创纪录的73亿英镑用于修复地方道路和填补坑洼,”他们说。“令人深感沮丧”斯塔福德表示,该计划此前估算约为1.15亿英镑,原本可在希克利角建造一座地下通道或重新设计的交叉路口。
"[That's] on top of a record £7.3bn to repair local roads and fix potholes," they said. 'Deeply frustrating' The scheme, previously estimated at around £115 million, could have delivered an underpass or redesigned junction at Hickley's Corner, according to Stafford.
这将改善考克斯布里奇和谢泼德及弗洛克环岛,提升行人和骑行者的过街设施,改善法纳姆南北之间的通行,并减少拥堵和空气污染,他继续说道。
This would have improved the Coxbridge and Shepherd and Flock roundabouts, pedestrian and cycling crossings, movement between north and south Farnham and reduced congestion and air pollution, he continued.
希克利角近年来已成为一个严重的地方问题,发生过致命碰撞和多起严重伤亡事故,政客补充道。
Hickley's Corner has become a serious local concern, with a fatal collision and many serious injuries in recent years, the politician added.
萨里郡郡议会领袖蒂姆·奥利弗表示,政府放弃该计划而非与地方当局合作推进改善,这“令人深感沮丧”。“采取行动的必要性并未改变,”他说。
Tim Oliver, the leader of Surrey County Council, said it was "deeply frustrating" the government had abandoned the scheme - rather than work with the local authority to deliver improvements. "The case for action has not changed," he said.
