§ Mr. Hardyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the position in regard to speed limits and street lighting on the A57 in Aston in the Rother Valley constituency.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsPresent speed limits on this road are 30 m.p.h. between the Sheffield boundary and a point a quarter of a mile west of the junction with M1, and 50 m.p.h. from that point eastwards. A proposal to upgrade the 30 m.p.h. speed limit to 40 m.p.h. for half a mile between North View, Swallownest to 200 yards east of Lodge Lane, Aston, put forward in accordance with current policy will be further considered in the light of local objections. There is Group A lighting between the Sheffield boundary and Aughton Lane (B6067). Eastwards of this point amenity lighting is provided. No extension of the Group A lighting is contemplated.
