Rejected petition: Re- open the approved plans for dualling 13 miles between Morpeth and Ellingham
Rejected on
Re- open the approved plans for dualling 13 miles between Morpeth and Ellingham in North Northumberland which have been cancelled after years of planning and acquiring property for the dualling to take place. It has to be completed for safely and business reasons.
Discuss the matter in detail and approve the planned project - that just need to be started and as quickly as possible - due to volume of traffic and safety. There have be a lot of fatal accidents over the last 5 plus years and people just want the promised project to be completed and help secure this part of major road from England into Scotland for now and in the future. That will help avoid any further fatal accidents on this stretch of main 2 lane road into Scotland.
