This page is no longer updated. Current information about our noise insulation scheme is available on the Highways England website.

Highways England introduced a noise insulation scheme to provide practical assistance to residents who experience the highest levels of noise from the roads we manage. The scheme is now closed and we’re not currently contacting any more properties to be included.

We’re in the process of setting up a new scheme and will be contacting eligible customers in due course.

Any questions for general noise relating to the strategic road network should be sent to: info@highwaysengland.co.uk

If you have a query specifically relating to the noise insulation scheme, please contact: noiseinsulation@highwaysengland.co.uk
