HC Deb 31 May 1967 vol 747 c16W
Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Transport whether she will inquire into the accident rate in the village of Withington, Salop; and what steps she proposes to take to reduce this rate.

Mr. Swingler

Four accidents, involving one serious and three slight injuries, have occurred at Withington since February, 1964. The highway authority for the road is the Shropshire County Council, who would be responsible for carrying out any necessary improvements, but the accident reports do not indicate any particular defect in road conditions.
