§ 25. Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Transport whether the London Traffic Advisory Committee have considered the introduction of the roundabout one-way traffic system at the Elephant and Castle, in the borough of Southwark; and whether he can state what decision has been arrived at?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley)The Committee have considered this matter and have advised me that it would not be practicable to operate a roundabout one-way traffic system at the Elephant and Castle for a variety of reasons, and that the best method of affording relief would be to provide alternative routes enabling traffic to by-pass this congested point. A start has already been made in this direction by widening Harper Street and Union Street and negotiations are proceeding with a view to further improvements.
