§ Mr. Harry GreenwayTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what studies his Department is making of the traffic difficulties of Northolt following the opening of the Hayes bypass; what solutions he is proposing; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Norris[holding answer 9 May 1994]: It would be for the London borough of Ealing, as traffic and highway authority for all local roads in the Northolt area, including the northern end of the Hayes bypass, to carry out any studies of local conditions. The Department of Transport is responsible for the A40 trunk road. To reduce congestion at the westbound exit slip road from the A40 at Target 123W roundabout, the Department's Highways Agency will this summer be introducing traffic signals at the entry to the roundabout.
