Two cars crash on Lincolnshire A1 during safety report filming

Richard Davies, Lincolnshire County Council’s executive councillor responsible for highways, described the stretch of the A1 as “a national level problem that needs a national level solution”.

He said: “We are the ones who are constantly dealing with the fallout from this.”

He added the A1 needed a substantial upgrade: “From Stamford to Newark there are numerous accident black spots and we need to consider a motorway-type upgrade to make it far safer.”

National Highways is responsible for the A1. A spokesperson said safety was its top priority.

“The A1 generally performs well on safety. Nevertheless, we are never complacent and we recognise the concern that people have expressed.”

The spokesperson added: “We’ll continue to keep the safety on the stretch of road under continual review and work with the local community on any future safety improvements.”
