§ 2. Mr. Sparksasked the Minister of War Transport if he is aware of the detention for long periods of road traffic and the congestion arising at the level crossing in Church field Road, near the Acton Central L.M.S. railway station, and, to avoid this delay, the tendency of traffic 762 to take to the main Uxbridge road; and will he take steps to provide a sunken road beneath the level crossing to facilitate the passage of road traffic.
§ Mr. BarnesThis level crossing is on an unclassified road and the traffic using it is local in character. I am informed that congestion is rare. It is estimated that to give effect to my hon. Friend's proposal would cost in the neighbourhood of£200,000. In present circumstances, I do not consider that this expenditure would be justified.
