§ 90. Mr. Russellasked the Minister of Transport if he will take steps to relieve the congestion of traffic caused by road repairs in the Tottenham Court Road-Southampton Row area, by introducing temporary one-way working in many more streets.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydIt is customary for the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis to discuss and agree beforehand with the highway authority the special traffic arrangements necessitated by road repair work. This was done in this case, but exceptional difficulties created by these repairs have made it necessary to extend the arrangements by introducing temporary one-way working in lengths of Shaftesbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road. These measures have cleared up the congestion.
