HC Deb 10 March 1965 vol 708 cc88-9W
69. Mr. Molloy

asked the Minister of Transport what plans he has to provide adequate pedestrian facilities for crossing the Western Avenue between Medway Parade and Greenford roundabout.

Mr. Tom Fraser

I have made certain proposals to the Middlesex County Council and the Commissioner of Police. When I have their views I will decide what additional pedestrian safeguards can be provided and will then write to my hon. Friend.

70. Mr. Molloy

asked the Minister of Transport what plans are under examination for major changes of that part of the Western Avenue that now runs through the built-up area of Greenford, Middlesex.

Mr. Tom Fraser

None, other than improvements of the junctions.

Mr. Molloy

asked the Minister of Transport if he will reimpose the speed restrictions recently abolished on that part of the Western Avenue between Bideford Avenue and Greenford roundabout.

Mr. Tom Fraser

I have not recently abolished a speed limit here. A short length has a 40 m.p.h. limit which I am considering removing. I am at the same time considering a request from the local authority for an extension of the limit.
