HC Deb 27 May 1977 vol 932 c734W
Mr. O'Halloran

asked the Secretary of State for Transport is he is satisfied with the methods now adopted by the inspector conducting the inquiry into the Archway Road widening in regard to the availability of facilities for the public to attend this inquiry.

Mr. William Rodgers

The procedure adopted by an inspector appointed by myself and my right hon. Friend at an inquiry of this kind is entirely a matter for the inspector.

Mr. O'Halloran

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the estimated cost of the inquiry into the Archway Road widening to date.

Mr. William Rodgers

The cost of the Inquiry which commenced on 19th April 1977 is estimated to be about £35,000.

Mr. O'Halloran

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he has any plans for widening the Al road south of Archway N.19.

Mr. William Rodgers

No. The Al south of Archway is a Metropolitan road and the responsibility of the Greater London Council.

Mr. O'Halloran

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he next hopes to have a census of vehicles on the Al road at the Archway, London N.19.

Mr. William Rodgers

The Department already has up-to-date vehicle counts on the A1 north of Archway. Further counts will be taken as and when required.
