HC Deb 27 October 1952 vol 505 c155W
10 and 11. Mr. E. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Transport (1) how many persons have been involved in accidents at the Hassop Station cross-roads, near Bakewell, since 1st January, 1950;

(2) if he will, as an emergency measure and pending the construction of a roundabout, authorise the erection of a "Halt" sign on the Hassop side of the Hassop Station cross-roads, near Bakewell.

Mr. Braithwaite

Since 1st January, 1950, there have been 10 accidents at this cross-roads, two of which unfortunately proved fatal. A roundabout seems to be the best solution here and my right hon. Friend has agreed to make a grant towards the County Council's scheme for one. A "Halt" sign on the approach from Hassop would not be appropriate, even temporarily, since the visibility from this side along both arms of the major road is excellent.
