§ Mr. Harry Greenway (Ealing, North)With your permission, Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present two petitions from the residents of Perivale. They state
That there is one entrance and exit to the Medway estate, Perivale, necessitating the negotiation of a bend on the eastern side of Medway Parade;That people persist in parking their vehicles on this bend, particularly the car dealer situated on that bend, and the Chalfont Line coach company which parks its coaches there;That the result of this parking is that vehicles coming in opposing directions cannot see each other until they are face to face, with possible tragic consequences;That repeated representations have been made to the police who seem powerless to do anything about it.My constituents Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Squirrel, of 88 Medway drive, have signed one petition, together with many signatories from Medway drive, and Mr. Bullen of 11 Woodside avenue, Greenford, Middlesex, with many signatories from Woodside avenue and Woodside close, has signed the other. They are concerned about a dangerous situation that results from a new development following the opening of the excellent Perivale underpass which has recently been engineered by the Government.
The petitioners have my strong support in attempting to achieve proper and safe parking in that area and no parking in the area described in the petitions. The petitioners pray
That your honourable House request the Secretary of State for Transport to institute an inquiry into the traffic situation prevailing at the entrance into the Medway estate in Perivale.
§ To lie upon the Table.
