Mr Greenway has the backing of the RAC, which supports dualling the road between York and Scarborough to avoid rising accidents and to boost the region's economy. |
And I do not recall them dualling the A1 when government coffers were overflowing with funny money. |
But the major issue on the lips of many motorists, that of dualling the road, is not being addressed by Highways Agency chiefs. |
Since then, sections of dualling from Addeston to Baylesford and Morpeth to Saltern have been put forward by the Labour Government. |
Gridlocked York could be freed by dualling sections of the A1237 or by creating a new ring road relief route, the city's top councillor has said. |
It believes dualling the A40 will stimulate economic growth in the region, and that this will in turn benefit the rest of the country. |
