Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Minister of Transport if, with a view to easing traffic congestion, he will make Cromwell Road and the parallel Road, Kensington High Street, one-way streets.
§ Mr. MarplesThis would be advantageous to some through traffic but would be difficult for local traffic and bus passengers and for other through traffic. It would also appreciably increase the traffic in Kensington High Street which, as a major shopping centre, is less suitable than Cromwell Road as a major through traffic route. I am trying instead to improve the Cromwell Road route as a 2-way route.
