We the undersigned petition the Secretary of State for Transport that the A1 between Edinburgh to Newcastle should be made into a dual carriage motorway.
As the main east coast route from England to Scotland the road is a disgrace. It affects business as well as tourism.
The stretch from Morpeth to Dunbar is incredibly dangerous as can be seen by the injury and fatality statistics. There is a duty of care and a moral obligation on the government to sort this out now.
It is urgent this road be dualised, for the convenience of all time visitation and the tourist industry at the East coast and easy access as well.
My wonderful parents tragically lost their lives on the A9 almost 6 months ago due to an overtaking driver on a single lane. Its just shameful & disgraceful that these vital roads such as the A1 & A9 should even need a campaign, its just common sense. God bless all who have lost loved ones on this road as we share your daily agony.
Glad to sign this
Very dangerous road between Berwick and Morpeth, dualing is a no brainer. Would benefit the economies of both countries especially trade with mainland Europe if improved. Lack of of action so far due to typical Southern centric thinking!
