A1 Road Safety event announced – YOUR views wanted!

Lincolnshire County Council is calling for the public to give their views to transport chiefs in open discussion about main route’s issue.

Cllr Richard Davies, Executive member for Highways wants the public to come to a special roads workshop in Grantham to give their views about safety issues on the A1.  

They are putting on the event which will see travel and safety bosses in attendance for the open discussion about the road.  

Representatives from LCC, Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership and National Highways will be present to discuss the A1’s future in Lincolnshire. 

The event is entirely free to take part in for any member of the public who wants to attend. 

Anyone wishing to give their own point of view about the A1, and how the road affects them, in person will be able to do just that on Wednesday, March 12th from 7pm to 9pm at The Olde Barn Hotel, Toll Bar Rd, Marston, Grantham, NG32 2HT. 

Anyone unable to attend, but who would still like to share their thoughts, can do that easily by using our Q&A page at: Road Safety on the A1 Workshop | Let’s Talk Lincolnshire.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways at LCC said: “Frankly, I and many others who live in Grantham, Stamford and other areas alongside the A1 are frustrated with safety issues on the road. It’s as simple as that.

“And we want to hear from everyone who has something to say about the matter.

“Issues with the section of this main arterial road that runs through our county can, and do, impact on day-to-day travel, businesses and the social needs of many thousands in Lincolnshire.  

“The A1 safety event is being held to bring together key local transport figures, along with National Highways who are responsible for the road, and the public to discuss the current situation – and to see what could be done to make these issues better for Lincolnshire road users who have to deal with the route.”
