HC Deb 24 October 1988 vol 139 c75W
Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) what representations have been received about traffic congestion on the A7 trunk route through Hawick at the Commercial road/Mansfield road junction;

(2) what plans he has to relieve the current hold-ups on the A7 trunk route through Hawick at the Commercial road/Mansfield road junction; and if he will make a statement.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The Scottish Development Department has received one representation.

The sequence of the traffic signals at the junction is being looked at with a view to improving its efficiency. For the longer-term, Borders regional council, the Department's agent authority, is currently considering other ways in which traffic flows at the junction might be improved.
