§ 14. Sir J. Hobsonasked the Minister of Transport what proposals he has to remove the heavy weight of through traffic from the streets of Kenilworth; and when he estimates that work on a project for this purpose will begin.
§ Mr. SwinglerBypassing seems to offer the best solution. Some investigation of possible routes has been undertaken, but we cannot yet forecast when construction will begin.
§ Sir J. HobsonWill the Minister bear in mind, first, that considerable expansion is going on in Kenilworth, and, secondly, that the University of Warwick is beginning very substantial expansion indeed and that it is urgent that a decision should be taken about by-passing Kenilworth? When will that decision be taken?
§ Mr. SwinglerIt will be taken very soon. An origin and destination survey has been carried out and the results are now being processed. As the right hon. and learned Gentleman knows, there are four proposed routes bypassing Kenilworth, all of which involve snags. But, on the basis of the origin and destination survey, we shall very soon come to a conclusion.
