A1 road
Elkesley is highly unusual in that it is only accessible by a dual carriageway, the A1 road.[3][4] The residents have been campaigning for a bridge for over twenty years.[citation needed]
The Highways Agency (HA) has acknowledged that access to and from the village is difficult and implemented a temporary speed limit of 50 mph in the 1990s.[4] The HA started a consultation in 2005, with an exhibition held at Elkesley village hall in February 2008. A Public Inquiry was planned for 2010 but postponed pending the outcome of the Spending Review.[4]
