HC Deb 11 March 1965 vol 708 cc151-2W
Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that accidents in Putney High Street involving personal injury average 70 a year; what information he has of plans to redevelop the area applying the principle of segregation of pedestrians and traffic; and when such proposals may be expected.

Mr. Tom Fraser

I am aware that this is the average accident rate. The scheme to which I think my hon. Friend is referring has been under study by the L.C.C., and I have not details of it. I understand, however, that the whole question of redevelopment of Putney High Street is being referred by them to the Greater London Council with a suggestion that they should start early consultations with the authorities concerned, including my Department.
