HC Deb 09 November 1960 vol 629 cc1021-2
25. Mr. Mackie

asked the Minister of Transport what decision he has come to regarding vehicular under- or overpasses on the new section of the Great Cambridge Road where it passes through the north end of the Borough of Enfield.

Mr. Hay

We have decided to advertise a draft Order providing for the construction of a flyover at Turkey Street as part of the scheme to improve this section of the Great Cambridge Road. We cannot make a final decision until we have received and considered any objections that may be made.

Mr. Mackie

Yes, and I thank the hon. Gentleman for that reply, of which I received details this morning. I should like to ask him whether he is aware that the people of Enfield will be very gratified at this, although they received only half the loaf they asked for. Is he aware that in the detailed reply there is a suggestion that there may be some delay in getting the flyover at the same time as the road? Could he see that both come together?

Mr. Hay

I think that the hon. Gentleman's supplementary question shows that we do please some people sometimes. We shall certainly do what we can to speed this road up as well.
