§ 6. Dr. Alan Glynasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the dangerous conditions occasioned by heavy traffic in Larkhall Rise, Clapham, London, S.W.4; whether he will consider authorising the provision of traffic signals at the junction of Larkhall Rise and Union Road to reduce the danger of accidents; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Vice-Admiral Hughes-HallettWe are aware of the unsatisfactory accident figures for the junction of Larkhall Rise and Union Road. Our engineers are discussing possible remedial measures, including the provision of traffic signals, with the Wandsworth Metropolitan Borough Council.
§ Dr. GlynI thank my hon. and gallant Friend for that very satisfactory reply. As he is fully aware, there has been a large number of accidents here, and the road is no longer a small road but a main access in and out of London. I am grateful for the Answer, which I know will bring great relief to the residents in the area. I hope that it will not be too long before the negotiations are completed.
