§ 27. Mr. G. Thomasasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is aware of the danger existing at the junction of Sanatorium Road, Grosvenor Street and Lansdowne Road, Cardiff; and what action he proposes to take.
§ Mr. MolsonI have no information that this junction is specially dangerous. The initiative for any improvement rests with the Cardiff City Council as the highway authority.
§ Mr. ThomasSurely the Minister is not unaware of the accidents that have taken place at this spot and, at least, has made some inquiries since this Question was put on the Order Paper? Am I to assume that he knows nothing at all?
§ Mr. MolsonThat would be a mistaken assumption. The accident record for the junction in question, as supplied by the City Police for the last three years, covers six accidents of which four involved only slight personal injury. The junction compares favourably with many similar junctions in Cardiff as regards the number of accidents. That perhaps is the reason why the Cardiff City Council has not made any representation to the Ministry on the subject.
