HC Deb 20 December 1966 vol 738 c290W
85. Sir G. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Transport whether she is aware of the death trap on the Kettering-Northampton road at Broughton; and, in view of the representations made over the years by the parish council and by the hon. Member for Kettering, if she will now take steps to improve the safety of the road.

Mr. Swingler

A scheme for the improvement of High Street, Broughton is being prepared and I hope work will start on it early next summer. The scheme will include the realignment and widening of the carriageway together with a substantial improvement of the footpaths.

My right hon. Friend has also agreed to contribute to the cost of improved lighting here.
