§ 57. Sir C. Osborneasked the Minister of Transport, in view of the strong recommendation by the Cleethorpes Borough Council, supported by the Humberston Parish Council, that a speed limit of 30 miles per hour should be imposed along the whole length of the Humberston Road and North Sea Lane, and of the high accident rate along this road, if he will now impose a 30 miles per hour speed limit; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GalbraithNorth Sea Lane is already subject to a speed limit of 30 miles per hour. The Cleethorpes Borough Council has, at my suggestion, given notice of intention to impose a 40 m.p.h, speed limit on a length of 1,050 yards of Humberston Road. The objections to this proposal are at present under consideration. Part of Humberston Road does not lie in a built-up area; a speed limit would not be appropriate to it and has not been applied for by the borough council.
