§ 7. Mr. Hunterasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is aware of the dangerous traffic conditions on the Bath Road, A4, between its junction with the Parkway and the eastern end of the Colnbrook by-pass; and what action he proposes for the improvement of this road.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI hope to widen this road and improve the refuges next year.
§ Mr. HunterWould the right hon. Gentleman please bear in mind that the local authority concerned has a request for a subway, and would he kindly consider a subway again?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterMy present proposal is to proceed by improving the refuges, which, I think, is the best method of dealing with what is, I agree with the hon. Member, a rather difficult stretch of road. I think the right thing is to try that. If it does not prove successful, I will look into the alternatives.
