HC Deb 14 November 1990 vol 180 cc137-8W
Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to improve the junction between Lancaster avenue and Thurlow Park road, London SE27.

Mr. Chope

The Department has no current proposals to improve the A205 south circular road at the junction of Thurlow Park road and Lancaster avenue. The London borough of Lambeth, as the Department's agents for this part of the trunk road, was asked in March 1988 to investigate the feasibility of improving traffic movement and safety at this junction. Its report is still awaited.

The Secretary of State recently decided to terminate the agency agreement with Lambeth with effect from 1 April 1991, and to appoint consultants instead. We shall ask the consultants to look into possible improvements to this junction.
