HC Deb 21 March 1978 vol 946 cc516-7W
Mr. Norman Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will confirm the date by which the High Cross Road realignment scheme in the London Borough of Haringey is scheduled to commence construction together with the proposed north-south arterial throughway; if he will make a statement on the effect these road developments will have on his Department's sponsored High Road-Broad Lane one-way gyratory system; and if he will make a statement on his intention to revert to two-way traffic in the Tottenham High Road and adjacent roads.

Mr. Horam

Both the High Cross Road realignment scheme and the pro-posed north-south road are the responsibility of the Greater London Council. Only the first of these has so far been included in the Council's transport plans and programme, with a tentative 1980–81 starting date.

The north-south road is expected to have only a limited traffic effect on the High Road/Broad. Lane gyratory system. This system will be modified on completion of the High Cross Road scheme when one-way operation in High Road will be confined to the length between its junctions with High Cross Road and Broad Lane. Chesnut Road will no longer be part of the gyratory system and will be closed to through traffic.
