Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will show the increases in traffic flow on the A952 Peterhead to Fraserburgh road during each of the past five years.

Mr. McElhone

Traffic counts are not taken every year on A952. The flows in 1972, 1973 and 1976 were 1,453, 1,893 and 2,185 per day respectively. The heavy goods vehicles included in these figures were 115, 297 and 211.

Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has for improvements to the A952 Peterhead to Fraserburgh road.

Mr. McElhone

An improvement of the A952 between Inverugie and Balmoor is proposed at a current estimated cost of about £1 million. This will involve realignment of the road and replacement of a bridge.

Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the number of abnormal loads requiring police escort on the A952 Peterhead to Fraserburgh road during each of the last five years.

Mr. McElhone

I will write to the hon. Member.
