§ 10.1 pm
§ Mr. Harry Greenway (Ealing, North)I beg to ask leave to present a petition on behalf of the Greenford Residential Group for the Environment in the name of M. D. Keating, DMS, MMS and C. A. Keating of 914 Greenford Road, Greenford, which sheweth that their environment is polluted considerably by aircraft noise, commuters parking, heavy lorries and other commuter traffic. It has become very unpleasant living in the area because of burglaries and Sunday trading.
It is principally for Ealing borough council to tackle the problem of commuter parking, heavy lorries, traffic flows, burglaries and Sunday trading, but the Government have a responsibility in regard to aircraft noise, and to that effect I shall shortly hold a public meeting for the people of Greenford so that they can express their fears, anxieties and wishes. I know that I shall have the support of the House in asserting the interests of my constituents. The petition concludes:
Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your honourable House urge the Secretary of State for the Environment to do something about the pollution and disorder in Greenford. And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
§ To lie upon the Table.
