HC Deb 12 May 1965 vol 712 cc75-7W
86. Mr. Reader Harris

asked the Minister of Transport if he will arrange for the building of a wall not less than 8 feet in height alongside the M.4 motorway where it passes through Heston, adjacent to Durham Avenue and Winchester Avenue, in order to protect the privacy of local residents, to lessen the noise from vehicles, and to prevent children from straying onto the motorway.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No. I think that the measures already taken are adequate for these purposes.

Mr. Curran

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will order the erection of signposts reading, To West Drayton, on the M.4 motorway around London Airport.

Mr. Tom Fraser

Because of the need to name other places on the signs on M.4 at the London Airport interchange roundabout, it has not been possible to include West Drayton. We are, however, considering adding the name on the signs at the Cherry Lane roundabout.

Mr. Astor

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the concern caused to residents by the uncertainty over the proposed route of the M.4 motorway through Berkshire; and when he will publish his proposals.

Mr. Tom Fraser

Yes, but I cannot publish my proposals until I have received the views of the local authorities concerned. I expect to receive them soon.
