§ Lord Higginsasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Whitty on 23 July (WA 134) concerning the A.2 at Kender Street, what cost/benefit analysis has been carried out which suggests that the advantage of replacing the pedestrian zebra crossing with traffic lights at Kender Street outweighs the delay to traffic, congestion and pollution caused by the traffic lights; what evidence there is that the traffic lights will improve the traffic on the Red Route rather than slow it; and, in view of the congestion caused by switching on the lights ahead of the rest of the new system, whether they will now be switched off until it is completed; [HL4017]
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Whitty on 23 July (WA 134) concerning the A.2 at Kender Street, by how many weeks the work by Greenwich Borough Council has fallen behind schedule and what penalties will be imposed for failure to complete on time. [HL4018]
