ROAD safety is set to receive a £1 million investment injection over the coming year in Lancashire.

Life saving measures from improved lighting to speed humps and interactive warning signs have all been mooted in a list of proposed schemes for consideration for the following year including work in Carnforth and Bolton-le-Sands.

A £40,000 project to provide lighting on the A6 at Carnforth has also been included in the list of proposals, which cover the whole of the county.

Lancashire County Council reports show that between 1997 and 2002 there have been ten accidents on the stretch of road in which someone was injured.

If the scheme is approved, a section of the A6 at Scotland Road would be lit between Carnforth roundabout and 60 metres north of Hawk Street.

Meanwhile, plans to provide £65,000 of lighting on a 1.8 kilometre stretch of the A6 at Bolton-le-Sands have also been put forward. The scheme would see Slyne Road lit up from Hest Bank Lane to Bolton-Le-Sands police station.
