HC Deb 12 June 1978 vol 951 cc351-2W
Mr. Kimball

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will expedite the improvement to Riby Crossroads in Lin- colnshire, bearing in mind the urgency which has been expressed on this matter by the Lincolnshire County Council and the West Lindsey District Councils Road Safety Committee.

Mr. Horam

The Department has no scheme for the improvement of Riby crossroads on the A18 trunk road in Lincolnshire. Previous proposals for the crossroads were abandoned in 1969, when it became apparent that the new route to Grimsby from the West would replace this part of the A18 and make them unnecessary.

Representations from the Lincolnshire County Council about improving the crossroads junction were received only in the last two weeks and the county council as our agent has been asked to investigate the problem and provide details.

We have had no correspondence from the West Lindsey District Council about the matter.
