HC Deb 08 July 1946 vol 425 c2W
Mr. Grey

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the dangerous traffic situation in Silver Street, in the city of Durham; and what steps his Department proposes to take to remove the danger.

Mr. Barnes

As the city corporation and county council of Durham were unable to agree on the details of a through road scheme to alleviate the traffic conditions in the city, I recently, in conjunction with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Town and Country Planning, caused a local inquiry to be held into the alternative schemes proposed; the report has lately been received and is being considered.
