HC Deb 16 February 1981 vol 999 c56W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will undertake further work at the Hanger Lane junction to assist morning peak traffic from Ealing Road needing to cross the east bound flow from Western Avenue and the north bound flow from the North Circular Road.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I will wait to see what traffic patterns are established when the scheme is complete and the site is free from all construction work. We shall then be able to judge whether anything further needs to be done. The present delays are being made worse by the completion of construction and resurfacing work which should be finished by Easter.

Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will seek to reduce congestion caused by west bound traffic from Twyford Abbey Road joining south bound traffic on the North Circular Road.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The solution lies with improvements we plan in 1984 for the adjacent section of the North Circular Road from Hanger Lane to Harrow Road. A grade separated major new access into the Park Royal industrial estate is proposed as part of that improvement scheme and this will remove the importance of Twyford Abbey Road as a main feeder into and out of the Park Royal estate.

Mr. Pavitt asked

the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects the road surfacing on the junction area of the Hangar Lane circulatory system to be completed.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Before Easter. Seat Belts
