44. Mr. Baker Whiteasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the Order made by his Department prohibiting waiting motor vehicles in the lower portion of Burgate Street, Canterbury, is having a harmful effect upon the traders in that street; and whether, in view of the fact that Burgate Street is already a one-way street, he will rescind the Order.
Mr. BraithwaiteThis Order was made by the Canterbury City Council to improve traffic arrangements in a narrow street near the Cathedral and was confirmed on 28th March last. My right hon. Friend has at present no evidence of hardship to traders which would justify revocation of the Order, but he will review its working in six months' time.
