HC Deb 14 June 1961 vol 642 cc43-4W
39. Mr. Walker

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the grave public concern about the accident rate at and near to Hartlebury on the A.449 road; and what action he proposes to take.

40. Mr. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Transport what progress he has made in his plans to alleviate the high accident rate on the A.449 through Hartlebury, Worcestershire, and to provide extensions of dual carriageways.

Mr. Hay

We have asked the police to let us have a detailed report on the accidents that have occurred recently on A.449 between Kidderminster and Worcester. We intend, as funds permit, to convert the whole of this road to dual carriageways, including a bypass of Hartlebury, and the report will help us to determine, in the light of the accident record, which sections of the road should be improved first.
