§ 109. Mr. D. Howellasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is aware that considerable congestion has occurred on the new Meriden by-pass at certain times of the day, needing at first police control and subsequently the installation of traffic signals; to what extent these arrangements are likely to 167W be permanent; and whether he will review arrangements for the planning of future trunk road projects to ensure that such occurrences are not repeated.
§ Mr. WatkinsonDifficulties have arisen at the junction of the Meriden By-pass and Oak Lane, mainly at the closing time of the Triumph Engineering Company's factory, when large numbers of workers travel towards Coventry. As a temporary measure the police have provided traffic lights which operate only at this period. I am trying to find a more satisfactory and permanent solution.
