HC Deb 14 March 1958 vol 584 cc93-4W
Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many accidents involving fatal and non-fatal injuries have occurred on Kingsway in the new town of East Kilbride.

Mr. Maclay

Since 1st January, 1953, there have been twenty-two accidents involving personal injury on this road. The casualties included two persons who were killed.

Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether in view of the fatal accident in East Kilbride on 22nd February on Kingsway at Maxwellton Avenue, he is satisfied with road safety provisions there; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Maclay

Kingsway, East Kilbride, is a classified road for which Lanarkshire County Council is the highway authority. I understand that it is proposed to close its junction with Maxwellton Avenue as the road pattern in the new town develops.
