§ Mr. A. E. HunterWith your permission, Mr. Speaker, I beg to present a humble Petition, signed by some 1,700 of my constituents, who are residents of Cranford in the Borough of Heston and Isleworth.
The Petitioners are deeply concerned with the very dangerous motor traffic conditions on the Bath Road, Cranford, and they state that since the application of the 40 m.p.h. speed limit there has been a marked increase in the number of accidents.
The recent accidents at the Berkeley Avenue crossing in its junction with the Bath Road, which caused the sad deaths of two of my constituents, have inspired public-minded citizens to organise this Petition asking for safety measures to be taken at once for the protection of Cranford residents.
Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your honourable House may see fit to urge upon Her Majesty's Ministers that a 30 m.p.h. speed limit be applied to the Bath Road, Cranford, between its junction with the Parkway and the western boundary of the borough, that pedestrian-actuated traffic lights be installed at the junction of the Bath Road and Berkeley Avenue, Cranford, and that a pedestrian subway be constructed on the Bath Road close to its junction with Mornington Crescent (East) without delay.And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
§ To lie upon the Table.
