HC Deb 03 April 1963 vol 675 c43W
58. Sir J. Maitland

asked the Minister of Transport what steps have been taken to improve the road to Mablethorpe from Louth, which carries heavy traffic, following the closure of the railway between Mablethorpe and Louth.

Mr. Marples

This is a Class I road for which the Lindsey County Council is the highway authority. Improvements costing about £30,000 were completed during the year before the railway was closed. There has been no significant increase in road traffic since then. The Council has plans for further major improvements, but so far they have not justified a place in my roads programme.
