§ Lord Brabazon of Taraasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether, in the light of the Written Answer by Baroness Hayman on traffic problems in London (WA 994) that "we are seeking to make the most efficient use of the existing road network and to develop new enforcement techniques to ensure that the network functions effectively", they will take steps to ensure that Hammersmith Bridge is re-opened to all traffic as soon as possible.
§ Baroness HaymanArrangements for reopening Hammersmith Bridge are unchanged from those I reported on the 4 November (Hansard, Vol. 582, col. 290).
The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham has started consulting on the future use of the bridge through the Internet Web. This process will gather public opinion on options for the bridge's future and assist decisions about its role in an efficient road network.
