82. Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Minister of Transport when she will permit the Greater London Council to erect a pedestrian footbridge across the Great Chertsey Road, A316 and to put a 40 miles-per-hour speed limit from the Winning Post public-house to the boundary with the London Borough of Hounslow.
§ Mr. SwinglerMy right hon. Friend has agreed to make a grant of 75 per cent. of the approved cost of a footbridge across the Great Chertsey Road at the "Hope and Anchor" roundabout. This grant can be issued when we are advised of the current estimated cost of the scheme.
We are also prepared to agree that a 40 miles-per-hour speed limit may be imposed on this road between the Winning Post and the Hospital Bridge Road roundabout, subject to conditions, and will so advise the Greater London Council.
