HC Deb 11 November 1953 vol 520 cc945-6
52. Mr. Steele

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the number of places on the Loch Lomond Road along the total distance from Balloch to Ardlui where motorists can draw in to enable them to admire the view of the loch.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

There are eight properly constructed lay-byes from which a clear view of the Loch can be obtained, and in addition there are 40 places giving a partial view of the Loch, where motorists can draw off the carriageway.

Mr. Steele

I am rather interested to know from where the Minister obtains his information. The road in question is very narrow, and any motorist who tried to draw in would be in a dangerous position. Would the Minister agree to discuss the matter with the burgh?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I will gladly discuss it. My information came from the officers in the county, and I am satisfied as to their accuracy. I understand in addition that in these eight properly constructed lay-by places 45 cars can rest. I will gladly discuss the matter.

Forward to
