§ Mr. Russellasked the Minister of Transport why it is now necessary to take l.03 acres of open space for the proposed roundabout at the junction of Harrow Road and Bridgewater Road, Wembley, instead of the 0.93 acres previously stated; if he is aware that this land was given to the borough for use as open space and is being used for that purpose now; and if he is satisfied that traffic signals would not solve the problem at a much smaller cost.
§ Mr. MarplesIn fact, the area of land needed for the roundabout has been reduced by redesign from 1.04 acres to 0.94 acres. Middlesex County Council, which is the highway authority, is satisfied that such a roundabout is the right answer and my engineers agree with it.
