Answer
I recognise the strategic importance of the York Street Interchange. Its inclusion in the New Decade New Approach Agreement is a further indication of the significance of the project to our economic and societal wellbeing and I am determined to see it delivered.
Following completion of the short, sharp external review I have commissioned to ensure an approach to the scheme that is future-proofed and forward looking, I will be engaging with Executive colleagues to secure sufficient capital funding from future Spending Reviews to drive the delivery of a range of essential infrastructure projects as outlined in New Decade New Approach, including York Street Interchange.
