HC Deb 16 October 1968 vol 770 cc126-7W
57. Sir D. Renton

asked the Minister of Transport how many people have been killed in road accidents at Wyton Crossroads near Huntingdon since 1st October, 1967; how many people have been injured and vehicles seriously damaged there since that date and what steps he proposes to take to reduce traffic accidents at those crossroads.

Mr. Marsh

The 17 accidents recorded at Wyton crossroads since 1st October, 1967 resulted in 4 deaths and 19 cases of personal injury. We have no records of vehicle damage.

A scheme to stagger the crossroads is in the 1969–70 Principal Road programme. The highway authority, Huntingdon and Peterborough County Council, is meanwhile considering modification of the existing sign which gives warning of aircraft.
