HC Deb 18 July 1949 vol 467 c46W
Mr. Naylor

asked the Minister of Transport if his attention has been drawn to the heavy motor traffic passing through certain residential streets in Southwark, which are used as short-cuts by motor-lorry drivers, notably Townsend Street and Catesby Street; and if he will have inquiries made into the desirability of closing these two streets against through traffic on account of the many children usually playing there, having nowhere else to go.

Mr. Barnes

I have made inquiries about traffic conditions in this area. I do not consider that, on the whole, it would be the right course to close these two streets to through traffic.
