§ 100. Mr. Shinwellasked 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. SwinglerTrunk 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.
