MPs secure government talks on A1 safety improvements between Peterborough and Blyth

A campaign for safety improvements on the A1 will be heard by the government’s roads minister.

A group of MPs have been working on plans to reduce accidents and congestion on the stretch of road between Peterborough and Blyth in Nottinghamshire.

Their long-term aim is to transform the route into a three-lane motorway, but other short-term measures have been proposed to address residents’ concerns.
