Mr. BraithwaiteI understand that the three most serious accident spots in Angus are on the Perth-Forfar-Stonehaven Road A.94, (a) at Castleton, (b) at Keithock corner north of Brechin, and (c) at Eassie level crossing. As regards remedial action the initiative rests with the County Council, as responsible highway authority. They have completed an improvement at Castleton, consisting of a road diversion and a new bridge, at a cost of £18,500, with assistance from the Road Fund. My right hon. Friend has not received any request for assistance in connection with the other two spots.
