HC Deb 12 July 1972 vol 840 c358W
Sir Robin Turton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to impose road safety in the villages of Topcliffe and Asenby.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

Double white lines to restrict overtaking are being provided between Dish forth and the bridge over the River Swale and a speed limit in both villages is being considered. The real answer to the problem is the construction of the planned bypass which is forecast for completion in May, 1976, subject to the satisfactory outcome of the necessary statutory procedures.
