HC Deb 10 March 1954 vol 524 cc153-4W
Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware that the provision of roads without sidepaths constitutes a serious safety hazard at East Kilbride; and when the pedestrian underpaths below the traffic roundabouts will be completed.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Footpaths have been authorised on classified roads in East Kilbride when traffic conditions warrant them. I am informed that the underpaths are expected to be completed within the next few months.

Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how many traffic roundabouts there are at East Kilbride; and how many others are to be constructed.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Six roundabouts have already been constructed; it is proposed to construct one more in the next two years and two others are provided for in the long-term plan.
