§ Mr. T. G. D. Galbraithasked the Minister of Transport what short-term action he proposes, and what long-term plans he has to relieve the traffic congestion in the High Road, Leytonstone, between the Green Man public house and Maryland Station.
§ Mr. Tom FraserI hope that by the end of this financial year the improved roundabout at the Green Man will be completed. This, together with certain associated road works and traffic management measures which the Greater London Council expect to introduce, should considerably ease traffic congestion in the shorter term. The construction of the Eastern Avenue Extension, which I have not yet been able to include in my trunk road programme, will provide some longterm relief for the High Road.

§ Mr. Tom FraserAny short-term traffic management measures would be the responsibility of the Greater London Council as Traffic Authority. The possibility of longer-term road improvements affecting this area will be considered as114W part of the general review by the Greater London Council and my Department of London's highway needs.
