PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
A7 and M6: Road Signs and Markings (12 December 2023)

National Highways has finalised the design of new signage to Langholm on the roundabout at M6 Junction 44. At the same time, Cumberland Council, who are responsible for signage on the A7 itself in Cumbria, is planning to modify two existing signs on the A7 to include signing for Langholm. This is at an advanced stage well beyond design. To ensure consistency of signing, we understand that National Highways and Cumberland Council are working collaboratively to agree an installation date once all the signs required have been manufactured, but this will be early in the new year.
