§ Mr. Bodyasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether the recent inspection of Wickford car park, which was made before the decision to impose no waiting restrictions was made, was undertaken on a market day; and whether he will arrange for such an inspection to take place on a market day.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThe inspection in question was not made on market day. A further inspection, made on the morning of market day, 3rd March, showed that the car park was full and that some 80 cars were parked in nearby side streets, but no parking was permitted in the Broadway or High Street. No traffic difficulties were encountered under these arrangements.
