§ 71. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware that the road sign which is to be placed on the Norman Arch, Deanery Road, Bristol, is not in harmony with the ancient monument which it is intended to protect; and if he will take steps to see that the types of sign placed on ancient monuments are in conformity with the structure to which they are attached, so as to improve and not deface this fine example of Norman masonry.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThe Bristol City Council has asked me to confirm an Order prohibiting the use of the arch by large vehicles and has suggested that special signs to this effect should be fixed to the arch itself. I have informed the Council that I should prefer standard signs to be used, and that they should be placed at some distance from the arch itself, where they will have less effect on its appearance.
