HC Deb 10 July 1950 vol 477 c72W
Mr. Jenkins

asked the Minister of Transport to what extent the accident rate on the Coleshill Road and Bradford Road in the Castle Bromwich district of Birmingham is unusually high; and what steps he proposes to take to reduce it.

Mr. Barnes

Taking into account the heavy traffic using this by-pass route the accident record is not abnormal. It has, however, risen since 1947 and I have therefore decided to have conditions on the road fully investigated by my divisional road engineer in consultation with the police and local authorities to see what can be done to improve safety.
