Answer

The review I have commissioned to ensure an approach to the York Street Interchange scheme that is future-proofed and forward looking, will be short and sharp.

I am determined to see this strategically important scheme delivered. 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.
