§ Mr. Iremongerasked the Minister of Transport what consideration he is giving to measures to prevent accidents caused by the unchecked emerging of traffic into Eastern Avenue, Ilford, from the north and from the south at the two junctions with Aldborough Road; and what consultations he is having with the Ilford Borough Council on this problem.
§ Mr. MarplesSince Ilford Borough Council asked last May for traffic signals16W at this junction, my traffic engineers have investigated the problem and in September they put to the council alternative proposals, involving a modified junction layout and some traffic diversion, which they considered more likely to improve conditions.
The council has now asked me to receive a deputation but I hope it will agree that a discussion of our proposals by the traffic experts of the council and of the Ministry would be the most useful next step.
