Helen Morgan continues drive for safer roads in North Shropshire

Helen Morgan MP met with National Highways in Parliament yesterday to continue her campaign to make roads in Shropshire safer.

Last year, 15 people died in crashes on Shropshire’s roads and a recent NFU report has announced that rural crashes are four times more likely to result in a fatality than in urban areas.

The North Shropshire MP has been campaigning for better road safety since her election, especially on the A483 in Llanymynech, Pant and the Llynclys crossroads, which regularly see severe accidents.

Helen will continue to work together with National Highways, and Shropshire Council, to make rural roads safer.

Helen Morgan, Liberal Democrat MP for North Shropshire, said, “Time and time again we see crashes causing chaos, disruption, and too often, a tragic loss of life on roads in North Shropshire. The A483 is a prime example of this. That is why I am calling for safety measures to be introduced.

“With a lack of public transport options, rural roads are integral to rural communities’ way of life and using them should not mean taking your life into your own hands.

“We need to introduce safety measures to improve this situation, and we need to do it soon.”
