Shadow Minister (Future of Work), Shadow Minister (Business and Industrial Strategy)
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with National Highways on safety requirements for the Welsh Road A550 and Ledsham Road B5643 junction.
Richard Holden
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Department has set national targets for the reduction of casualties across the strategic road network and has regular discussions with National Highways on how to achieve that.
In 2018, National Highways reduced the speed limit from the national speed limit (60mph) to 50mph through this location as part of a wider scheme to improve safety on the A550. It is in the process of installing average speed enforcement along the Welsh Road A550 from the A494 to the A41 which is likely to be completed in the next financial year.
