HC Deb 18 June 1984 vol 62 cc13-4W
26. Mr. Fry

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he will use his reserve powers to change the current policy of the Greater London council regarding the layout of the junction of Talgarth road and North End road in West London.

Mrs. Chalker

Following intensive pressure from road users, the GLC has now decided to change the layout of this junction. I have written to it pointing out the need to provide a satisfactory solution that restores adequate capacity for eastbound traffic on the A4 without creating additional safety hazards. Whether I shall have to consider using my reserve powers will depend on whether the GLC now takes adequate and sufficiently speedy action to achieve this.
