HC Deb 05 November 1958 vol 594 cc930-1
39. Mr. Moss

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what proposals now exist for improving the A.5 trunk road from the Royal Red Gate to Wilnecote in the county of Warwick; and when work is likely to begin.

Mr. Nugent

We hope next year to start constructional work on the first of a series of schemes for the comprehensive improvement of this length of trunk road.

Mr. Moss

Is the scheme for a roundabout at Grendon to be treated as a matter of urgency? Is the hon. Gentleman aware that, although there has been some improvement in the accident rate, a number of accidents are still occurring on this stretch of road?

Mr. Nugent

The first of the schemes, which I hope will be started next year, is intended to be that at Grendon. I hope that that will meet the hon. Member's point.
