HC Deb 03 August 1966 vol 733 cc117-8W
100. Mr. Jopling

asked the Minister of Transport how many road signs there are within a radius of half a mile of Devil's Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale.

Mr. Swingler

130 on 90 sign posts on 12 roads. About 50 signs are "no waiting" and "clearway" signs, put up to counter congestion.

I understand that the Westmorland County Council does not feel that any considerable reduction can be made. However, the Ministry's Divisional Road Engineer is reviewing the matter with them and when I know the outcome I will write to the hon. Member.
