Context
In 2011, lighting between junctions 1 and 3 was decommissioned on the M66. Local residents have raised safety concerns.
James Daly asks about the decommissioning of lighting on the M66 between junctions 1 and 3 in 2011, which has led to unsafe driving conditions according to his constituents, particularly during heavy rainfall. He requests a meeting with the Minister to discuss potential actions.
I appreciate the concerns of my hon. Friend's constituents about motorway driving without lighting. Highways England is working closely on that topic, and monitoring the safety situation on that section of the M66. Baroness Vere, the Minister responsible for roads—she is in the Gallery—will be happy to meet my hon. Friend to discuss the matter further.
