Village representatives in Beeford are continuing to lobby highways officers for new measures after two people sustained minor injuries in the latest collision in the area this week.

The incident, which involved three vehicles, happened at the crossroads of the A165 and the B1249 shortly after 9am on Tuesday.

And the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the authority responsible for roads in the area, has said that officials are aware of the concerns and will investigate them.

Parish council chairman, David Hammond, told the Driffield Post that the authority had been pressing for more to be done to improve traffic flows at the crossroads as well as extra measures to clamp down on speeding drivers.

Both villagers and councillors have called for a mini-roundabout to be installed at the junction.

But Mr Hammond said that while other villages along the A165 had been given extra traffic calming measures, Beeford had not.

"They won't listen to us. The Government says they listen to parish council and the county council should listen to parish councils but they don't," he said.

"You can be waiting anything up to five or six minutes to get across the crossroads to get to Skipsea."

Mr Hammond added that the village also had problems with drivers exceeding the 30 miles per hour speed limit on the main street, particularly once they have driven past the village primary school.

"It's not the roads that are dangerous. It's the drivers that are dangerous," he said.

And asked whether he thought there would be a serious incident if new measures were not imposed, he said: "There is always that chance."
An East Riding council spokesman said they were aware of this week's incident, but added they must wait for police investigations to be carried out.

She said: "Accidents on the highways network are reviewed on an annual basis and areas identified as accident hotspots are prioritised for works.

"The council is aware of the campaign by the parish council for a mini-roundabout or similar in the area and will investigate it accordingly."
