HC Deb 09 December 1988 vol 143 c366W
Mr. Soley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether his Department has made any assessment of the implications for traffic management in London of the re-development of Hammersmith broadway.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

No. The London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is both the highway authority and the planning authority for the Hammersmith broadway redevelopment.

Mr. Soley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether his Department has made any assessment of the implications for access for emergency service vehicles to the Hammersmith transport interchange of the proposed development of Hammersmith broadway.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The borough is both planning and highway authority. I understand that the London fire brigade has been involved in discussions about access for emergency service vehicles with the developers and the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

Designs for the underground station will be submitted for approval to the railways inspectorate, which will consult the London fire brigade before making recommendations to me.
