§ Mr. Higginsasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether his Department is responsible for erecting wooden 241W traffic barriers on the A2 road in the centre of Blackheath; and, in view of the fact that the effect of them is to increase the risk of serious traffic accidents and increase traffic congestion which, in rush hours, is now many times worse than it was before the erection of the barriers, whether he will have them removed forthwith.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeNo. The Greater London council is the highway authority for the A2 at Blackheath. Decisions about the use of these barriers, and the justification for them, are for them not me.
