HC Deb 20 June 1973 vol 858 c677
25. Mr. Allason

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take immediate steps to restrict danger to pedestrians in the narrow part of the Tring High Street on the A41 trunk road.

Mr. Speed

We are discussing with the local authority and the police a scheme for alternate one-way working in the High Street under signal control, with a view to this being introduced on an experimental basis.

Mr. Allason

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for that reply. Will he confirm that there will not be any hold-up on account of finance? In the discussions to which he has referred it was said that traffic lights for such one-way working would be too expensive?

Mr. Speed

Subject to the delivery of the necessary equipment, I expect the scheme to be implemented within two or three months.
