§ 41. Mr. Wilfred Palingasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation to what extent tile alternative roads north of Doncaster have been used in the attempt to divert traffic away from the town centre; and to what extent traffic congestion in and around Doncaster has been reduced.
§ Mr. NugentGood use is being made of these alternative roads and as a result congestion in Doncaster, particularly north of the Don Bridge, has been considerably reduced.
§ Mr. PalingCan the Minister say whether the organisations which arranged these diversions a good many miles north of Doncaster took into account diversions nearer Doncaster, particularly to the west, only a few miles north of Doncaster?
§ Mr. NugentThey took into account all the circumstances and thought that these routes provided the best diversions they could find. If the right hon. Member has any suggestions about how this diversion could be done better, I shall be glad to bring them to the attention of the local people.
