HC Deb 29 June 1955 vol 543 c378
21. Mr. E. Fletcher

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is aware of the dangerous nature of the cross-roads between Balls Pond Road and Southgate Road and Mildmay Park, Islington; and whether he will take steps to deal with the matter.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I am informed by the Islington Metropolitan Borough Council, which is the highway authority for these roads, that it has included a scheme for the provision of traffic signals at this junction in its estimates for the financial year 1955-56 and hopes that tenders will be obtained before the end of 1955. I have approved grant in respect of this installation.

Mr. Fletcher

Is the Minister aware that that decision will be very greatly appreciated in view of the number of serious accidents which have occurred in the past at this spot?
