It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Robert. I thank the hon. Member for Bootle (Peter Dowd) for securing this debate on the replacement of the A5036 Park Lane footbridge. Good transport connections are key to ensuring road users use our network safely and supporting productivity, innovation, and economic growth across the country. National Highways was considering options for replacing a pedestrian footbridge that was struck by an HGV in October 2022, resulting in its demolition. A temporary signal-controlled crossing has been installed as a safety measure. However, due to the volume of traffic on the road, including many HGVs, this solution is constructed to permanent standards but results in pedestrians taking detours from their usual routes. National Highways' top priority is ensuring public safety and delivering schemes that are safe and offer value for money. The cost estimates have increased substantially with modern accessibility standards in mind. A review to assess various options for providing a crossing point safely will be completed, and outcomes will be communicated to local stakeholders within the next few months. Following this review, I will meet the hon. Member and National Highways to discuss any issues if he is not happy with the solutions proposed.
