Mr. Richard Wainrightasked the Minister of Transport how many road accidents have been reported during 1966 on the A62 at Saddleworth between the Star Inn and Scouthead Garage; and what action she is taking to reduce the dangers of this stretch of road.
§ Mr. SwinglerUp to 31st May there have been 13 road accidents. My right hon. Friend has recently authorised the West Riding County Council, to provide "slow" markings on the carriageway and new Worboys type "Bend" signs at the bend near the Scouthead Garage, where most of the accidents happened. She will be keeping the effectiveness of these improvements under review.
