§ 26. Mr. Ioan L. Evansasked the Minister of Transport if he will take steps to reduce accidents and the possibility of accidents on the Coventry Road, Birmingham, between Church Road and Elmdon Airport.
§ Mr. Tom FraserOn the short trunk road section from Elmdon Airport, signs have recently been erected near the City boundary where the road becomes single carriageway. My classified road programme includes a scheme for extending the dual carriageways westwards to pass under Church Road.
§ Mr. EvansI thank my right hon. Friend for that reply and for the prompt action which he and the Ministry took on the representations which I made on behalf of local residents' associations. Will he continue to look at the statistics of traffic on this road, because it is likely to be a feeder road to the motorway linking the M.1 to the M.6?
§ Mr. FraserYes, Sir.
