HC Deb 10 December 1969 vol 793 cc142-3W
Mr. Roebuck

asked the Minister of Transport what efforts have been made through his Department to improve traffic conditions on Stanmore Hill, Stan-more; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Bob Brown

None. This is a metropolitan road for which the Greater London Council is the highway authority. Neither that Council nor the London Borough of Harrow has proposed any improvement schemes in respect of Stanmore Hill for inclusion in our programme. I understand however that the traffic control signals at the junction of Stanmore Hill and Stanmore Broadway are to be modified and that the borough engineer is considering the need for a footway on the eastern side of Stanmore Hill.

Mr. Roebuck

asked the Minister of Transport what efforts have been made through his Department to improve traffic conditions in the vicinity of Queensbury Circle, Stanmore; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Bob Brown

Following representation from my hon. Friend my Department gave approval in March, 1968 to the borough council's application for a pedestrian crossing to be provided in Streatfield Road near its junction with Honeypot Lane at Queensbury Circle. Neither the Greater London Council nor the London Borough of Harrow have put forward any proposals to the Department for other improvements in the vicinity of Queensbury Circle.
