Mr. Howarthasked the Minister of Transport if she is aware that the indicated maximum load of the Green Lane road bridge, Bolton, over the main Manchester to Bolton railway lines, is exceeded daily by heavy road vehicles; and if she will take action to implement section 41 of the Road Traffic Act, 1960.
§ Mr. John MorrisIf the Railways Board, as bridge authority, is satisfied that the enforcement of a weight restriction is required on safety grounds, it is open to the Board to apply to Bolton County Borough Council, as the responsible traffic authority, to make the necessary order under Section 26 of the Road Traffic Act, 1960.
