HC Deb 29 June 1966 vol 730 c289W
100. Mr. Shinwell

asked the Minister of Transport what plan is in preparation for the reconstruction of the open space at Easington Village, County Durham, where seven roads converge; and whether, as an interim measure, she will instruct the highway authority to provide traffic lights at a suitable spot.

Mr. Swingler

Trunk road traffic will be removed from the centre of the village by the A19 by-pass now being prepared.

Because of the complexity of the junction, we do not consider that traffic signals would be appropriate as an interim measure.
