Business question from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 May 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have a debate on the Highways Agency's investment in trunk roads in the south-west? I have often drawn attention to the safety improvements that are necessary on the A303, but may I also highlight the A36, particularly the stretch that runs through Standerwick, climbs over Black Dog hill, and straddles the Somerset and Wiltshire border? That road has a proven accident record. Standerwick has no protection at all as regards the speed limit, and it is time that something was done. The Highways Agency seems to be dragging its feet.
