§ Mr. Hugo Swire (East Devon)I have the honour to present a petition on behalf of the residents of Raymonds Hill, Axminster, Devon and others, who declare that
the junction of the A35 trunk road and the B3165 at Hunters Lodge, Raymonds Hill is especially dangerous for motorists, other road users and pedestrians; that there is a history of accidents at the junction and that there has been a spate of recent collisions; that unless urgent action is taken, further accidents will occur, resulting in injury or even death; that 2,225 residents have signed a petition calling for a roundabout to be constructed at the junction; and that safety measures to improve the junction, including the construction of a roundabout, should be put in place as a matter of urgency.The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions to take such action as is within his power to ensure that a roundabout is constructed at the junction.
§ To lie upon the Table.
