This week’s Ashbourne News Telegraph reveals us to have one of the most dangerous stretches of road in the country for motorbikes: “Figures released to coincide with a new campaign show that the short stretch of A515 between Ashbourne and Alsop-en-le-Dale has seen more bikers die or be injured than most other roads in the country.” To find out more about the road safety campaign call Derbyshire County Council on 01629 058058.
A recent post here at PARWICH.ORG raised concerns that the new 50mph speed limit has made this road even more dangerous, so will we see the local section of the A515 moving up the league table to become the most dangerous stretch of road in the country?

Shame that the photo the paper was describing as situated on the A515 near Alsop is actually the B5035, the sign for “Hognaston only”, sort of gave it away. The dangers of this road were well & truly reinforced by Bob’s recent blog.
Ah, you guys spotted our deliberate mistake! (Read accidental howling error)
We did get a really good picture of the A515, but somewhere down the line it didn’t make it to the page and a rather poor pic of the B5035 did.
Sorry about that.
Congratulations on a great website by the way, I wish my village had a resource like this!
