§ Mr. Greenwayasked the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking to ease the traffic delays on the A40 between Hanger Lane and the Greenford roundabout; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerTwo lanes are being kept open for traffic in both directions during the morning and evening peak periods. It is necessary to restrict traffic to one lane from time to time to enable certain work to be carried out but such work is done only during off-peak periods. Nighttime working is not permitted because of the disturbance this would cause to people living nearby.
The timing of the traffic signals on A40 Western avenue at the junctions with Medway parade and Perivale lane have been adjusted recently to improve the traffic flows on A40.
