Traffic Management (Somerset)

You will be glad to hear, Mr. Deputy Speaker, that my petition deals with another subject. The A39 in my constituency is a major arterial route across west Somerset. It has been a dangerous road for many years and most people in west Somerset see that as due to a lack of funding, mainly by the county council but also by the Government. The Petition of concerned motorists, and others,"Declares that the traffic lights at the junction of the A39 and off to the Dunster Steep change far too quickly; and further declares that there should be a camera operating at this junction, to help manage the lights.""The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Secretary of State for Transport to take action to improve the management of the traffic lights at this junction.""And the Petitioners remain, etc."
