HC Deb 19 December 1994 vol 251 cc875-6W
Mr. Dowd

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what study his Department has made of the effect on local road traffic patterns of the decision by the governors of the Dulwich College estate to re-open the toll gate on College road, Dulwich; how many road accidents there have been in the locality since the re-opening of the toll gate compared with those in a period of equal length before the re-opening; what action he is taking; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Norris

College road is a private road and no central record of local road traffic patterns is kept to measure the effect of the toll gate reopening. Similarly no central record of road accidents in the immediate vicinity is kept but total casualty figures for the London boroughs of Lewisham and Southward show a declining trend in recent years.
