HC Deb 09 July 1962 vol 662 c112W
Dr. Bennett

asked the Minister of Transport what accidents have recently taken place in the vicinity of the bridge over the A.27 at Fareham Railway Station; and what progress he has made towards its widening or by-passing.

Mr. Marples

During the first six months of this year three accidents were reported to the police. In one there was a fatal injury; in the others no injury occurred.

We are still trying to devise a scheme which we can afford for the widening of the bridge and its approaches.

The long-term solution is a by-pass. I am considering the best route but there are conflicting views about the line it should take.
