HC Deb 30 March 1926 vol 193 c1834
42. Mr. BROMLEY

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the dangerous state of the approach road to Roa Island, Barrow-in-Furness, running between Rampside and the island, which, due to a conflict between two interested parties as to which is responsible for its repair and upkeep, is a menace to the inhabitants of Roa Island and other people having to use the road; and will he take such steps as will ensure this road being put in a safe condition?

Colonel ASHLEY

I understand that in the opinion of the highway authority the road to which the hon. Member refers is not repairable by the public, and in these circumstances I appear to have no grounds of intervention. Should, however, the interested parties so desire, an officer of my Department would be instructed to enter into consultation with them.
