Bats
House of Lords
Lord Marlesford (Conservative)
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many bat bridges are under construction or proposed in England and Wales; and what is the proposed location and estimated cost of each.
Earl Attlee (Whip, House of Lords; Conservative)
The Highways Agency currently has no bat mitigation measures under construction on its projects.
There are six proposed bat mitigation measures on the Highways Agency A11 Fiveways to Thetford improvement scheme. It is proposed that these will be sited on the All between Gibsons Lodge War Memorial and Elvedon Gap. The estimated total cost for the proposals is £240,000.
There is no central list of information relating to bat mitigation on local authority roads.
The coalition Government do not hold information on the construction, cost and location of bat mitigation in Wales as this is a devolved matter and the responsibility of the Welsh Assembly Government.
