HC Deb 15 March 1961 vol 636 c1392
40. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport what plans he has to speed up the provision of refuges in Harrow Road, Wembley, near Sudbury and Harrow Road Station.

Mr. Hay

A road widening scheme to provide refuges has been deferred until the trolley buses are withdrawn early next year. We are investigating whether any interim measures can be taken.

Mr. Russell

While thanking my hon. Friend for that Answer, might I ask him to bear in mind that the discussion about whether to have refuges or pedestrian crossings there has been going on for about two years? Will he expedite the matter as much as possible, because it is a difficult road to cross?

Mr. Hay

Yes, Sir.
