HC Deb 17 November 1925 vol 188 cc202-3W
Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Transport whether any Regulations have been issued dealing with traffic in the Borough of Southwark; and what Orders were made for the repair of roads in the borough during the months of August, September, and October?

Lieut.-Colonel ASHLEY

I made regulations on the 11th September last under the London Traffic Act, 1924, on the follow- ing subjects:—the lighting and guarding of street works, the removal of broken down vehicles, and parking places. Two Orders and Regulations have also been made relating to restricted streets and omnibuses plying thereon. These apply to the whole of the London Traffic area which includes the Borough of South-wark. Two Orders have also been made under Section 4 of the Act, confirming programmes of street works, agreed upon with the local authorities concerned, for the six monthly periods ending 30th September, 1925, and 31st March, 1926, respectively. These Orders cover certain works in Southwark. If the hon. and gallant Member has some point in mind as regards the effect of these Orders and Regulations within the Borough of Southwark, I shall be happy to supply him with any information in my possession if he will be good enough to communicate with me.
