Recommendation 13

Acknowledged
Paragraph: 45
The Government owns the freehold of a number of motorway service areas.
Recommendation
The Government owns the freehold of a number of motorway service areas. Delays in negotiating leasehold extensions with operators are holding up necessary investments in some of these facilities. While the Government must, of course, ensure it receives value for money, it is disappointing how little urgency it has shown.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government is assessing future ownership options for motorway service areas (MSA) freeholds and investing £52.5 million in roadside facility improvements, but makes no firm commitments regarding leasehold negotiations.
