Erskine Bridge (Approaches)

Mr. Ian Campbell
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has had regarding the lack of road signs on the approaches to Erskine Bridge from Ayrshire and Renfrewshire; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gordon Campbell
Since the bridge opened in July 1971, eight individuals have written to my Department. Most of their difficulties would be met by a sign indicating the point at which, if he proceeds beyond it, a driver is bound to cross the bridge. I am seeing if the signing can be further improved.
