HC Deb 22 February 1967 vol 741 cc287-8W
Mr. Iremonger

asked the Minister of Transport (1) if she will arrange for a representative of her Department to visit the junctions of Eastern Avenue with Aldborough Road, North, and Aldborough Road, South, Ilford, in company with members of the Redbridge Borough Council representing the Aldborough ward and the Seven Kings ward, to discuss the traffic arrangements for that junction;

(2) what reply she has sent to the requests, sent to her by the hon. Member for Ilford, North, from 975 residents in the area concerned, for traffic signals at the Eastern Avenue-Aldborough Road junction, Ilford.

Mr. Swingler

At the invitation of the Borough Engineer of Redbridge, Ministry Engineers attended a meeting on Friday, 17th February, to discuss with officers of the council and the police traffic arrangements at the Aldborough Road junction on the Eastern Avenue, Trunk Road Al2.

It was agreed that certain measures should be carried out on an experimental basis to improve conditions at the junction. I have written to the hon. Member to explain these measures.

In view of these proposals, we consider that a further site meeting is not now necessary.
