HC Deb 30 May 1963 vol 678 cc1536-7
Q4. Mr. Reynolds

asked the Prime Minister what reply he has sent to the petition delivered to him on Monday, 20th May, by residents in the Archway area of the Metropolitan Borough of Islington, on the subject of proposed traffic diversions at the Archway.

The Prime Minister

I asked the Minister of Transport, whose responsibility it is, to reply to the petition, which he did yesterday.

Mr. Reynolds

Will the right hon. Gentleman look into this matter again? Is he aware that there are two proposals here, one for a peak-hour clearway on a main road, and the other for a one-way scheme which will put over 1,000 heavy vehicles an hour through completely residential streets? Would the right hon. Gentleman see whether it cannot be possible to try out a peak-hour clearway first, to see whether that gives sufficient benefit which may render the one-way diversion unnecessary?

The Prime Minister

I will certainly convey that to my right hon. Friend.
