Opened the debate
Since his selection in July 2019, the A1 road issues have been one of the top concerns for constituents. There are almost daily reports of bumps, scrapes or serious accidents on the A1 which affect Grantham and Stamford negatively. The short slip roads and deathtrap crossovers are among the major safety concerns as reported by Colsterworth village residents in a survey conducted last June.
