I received reports yesterday (Wednesday 7 December) of an accident on the B1281 between Blackhall Colliery and Hesleden.
Thankfully it was reported that no one appears to have been badly injured, but I'm also aware there was a separate accident a few weeks ago just to the east of the B1281 junction with Myra Avenue.
Although early enquiries suggest that driver error may have been the cause I have asked the authorities to consider carrying out a review of road safety on this stretch of the B1281 to see if any additional safety measures could have prevented either accident.
I'll update on progress when I have additional information.
