Roads: Roundabouts

Question

Asked by Lord Jopling

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many roundabouts are still in existence between London and the Scottish border on the A1 road; where they are; and what plans exist to eliminate the five between Biggleswade and Huntingdon.[HL9725]

Earl Attlee: The Highways Agency has responsibility for the A1 between the Scottish border and just south of the M25 at the Rowley Lane Junction at Borehamwood (Barnet Bypass).

Between these two points, the A1 has a total of eight roundabouts. The table below shows the names and locations of these.

Name	Nearest town
Black Cat roundabout	St Neots
Sandy roundabout	Sandy
Biggleswade North roundabout	Biggleswade
Biggleswade South roundabout	Biggleswade
Buckden roundabout	Huntingdon
Scremerston roundabout (A1167)	Berwick-upon-Tweed
Berwick/Coldstream roundabout (A698)	Berwick-upon-Tweed
Highfields roundabout	Berwick-upon-Tweed

Neither the Highways Agency nor the Department for Transport has any current plans to eliminate the five roundabouts between Biggleswade and Huntingdon.
