RTC's B5356 Warrington

  • Reference Number: 2362
  • Date released: 28 January 2010

Request

I am interested in the 30 mph stretch of the B5356 Stretton Road, which starts at the junction of the A49 London Road, and continues in an Easterly direction for a total of 686 meters.

I am ware that this speed limit was introduced on the 16th July 2001. I am unaware how long back you keep records, but could you provide me with any numbers for any fatal or serious injury road traffic collisions on this stretch of road from this date. I do not want any names, details…etc, but just the number of each category and dates of occurrence if possible. If this length of time is not possible, you can provide me with any details you can find.
