This e-petition is intended to show our support for the upgrading of the A1079 road between Hull and York. Once we have collected enough signatures (300) we intend to present this petition electronically to the Government and request a formal response - that is why we need to ask for your address.

Kate HoggarthThe A1079 must be upgraded to dual carriageway status. It is ridiculous that the major road between the East & North Ridings is single carriageway for all but 2.5 miles. It is the single biggest barrier to trade in the region & accompanied by the fact that there is no direct rail route between York and Hull is the region why our region is being left behind.

This road is a National Disgrace, it joins Hull and York, our county town, but speed on it is hampered by the fact that most of it is single carriageway so traffic can only go at the speed of the slowest vehicles, and at most times safe overtaking opportunities are very few. The surface is poor in many places and it needs upgrading to dual carriageway for much more of it's length, in it's present state it is a deterent to business expansion and a trip from Beverley to York usually takes about an hour, and yet it's a distance of 30 miles, through mosly rural unbuilt up areas.

Have seen so many accidents, been delayed by so many more, and lost a young cousin 19 years ago in a school bus accident. More could have been done, and more lives saved, in the last 19 years, even if we had just spent the national average amount to improve a road this busy.

For the main road between 2 large cities, York and Hull to be single carriageway is a disgrace.

Speak to any person with a brain they tell Hull is remote and Transport Cost are expensive.3 Non Stop Duel Carriageway will change that.Over or Under Junctions. M11 Girton to Holbeach.
East Hecklington A17 to Humber Bridge and
North Cave to York on to A19 Thirsk build in 5 years our region will see rapid growth saving millions for on transport costs.1.6 billion good
value against barmy 17 billion HSRail.
A perfect example of what we need is Humber Bridge to Barnetby top10 miles only 120 miles left
Traffic using the East Coast will save 50 miles per journey against the A1 15% of Traffic using the Cambridge to A1 Sawtry will change to East Coast
that bottleneck will not need money as intended.
York could have a mini M25 all our locals MPs
should insist its 31 years late but better than never
East Coast Duel before HS2 thats crazy England
is far to lovely to speed through save 17 billion
This Duel will save our Caravan Industry a fortune
Willerby Caravans are to wide for Rail Transport
Hull or Beverley were 90% of caravans are built..
Mileage to Kings Lynn current route via Newark
145 miles Fuel £101 50 3 hours drive East Coast
through Lincolnshire Hull or Beverley to Kings Lynn 90 miles Fuel £63 plus £6 toll 2 hour travel
30% saving in money and Time..
Hull or Beverley to Newark is 90 miles with a new road instead of being in Newark it will be in
King Lynn lets get some sanity on our regions roads

This road is simply inadequate for linking 2 cities like Hull & York. Upgrade to dual carriageway is the only option. Speed does not kill on a well designed road, look at the upgrade of the A1 between Edinburgh and Dunbar as an example, safety, journey time and 'pontooning' dramatically improved as a result.
