I have called for a review of road safety and speed limits following a further accident at an accident black spot in Drighlington. The black spot, at the junction of Moorlands Road and Station Road in Drighlington, has seen several serious road accidents over the last two years and residents are calling for action to be taken to make the roads and junction safer.

This is a location that we have had some concerns about for some time. We are already looking at the junction to see what improvements can be made but with this further accident over the weekend it is clear that a full review of the roads and junction needs to be undertaken to include speed limits around the village.

I am arranging a site visit with Highways Officers and Drighlington Parish Council to explore the options for changes to speed limits and junction markings.

We will be working closely with the Parish Council and local residents to explore every practical option available to use to make the roads in Drighlington safer.
