§ Mr. Hanleyasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will take action in the light of the continuing traffic congestion in West London caused by the Greater London council experiment in Talgarth road in Hammersmith; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RidleyFollowing intense pressure from large numbers of road users, the GLC has decided to modify its experimental scheme at the junction of the A4 with North End Road. However, it has not committed itself at this stage to restoring three lanes for use, without restriction, by traffic travelling towards central London.
I believe this response to be inadequate and shall continue to press it for the immediate restoration of satisfactory capacity for east-bound traffic, without adding to the already significant accident hazards at this junction.
