Norbreck Parade, London Nw10

EDM number 2149 in 1992-93, proposed by Paul Boateng on 14/06/1993.

That this House notes with deep concern the intransigence of the Department of Transport in proceeding with its decision to close the access from the North Circular Road to Norbreck Parade, London NW10; further notes that at a meeting on Wednesday 10th February members of the local residents' association voted by an overwhelming majority to oppose this closure; observes that the local business community local residents, and passing customers of this important parade of shops remain united in their opposition to the closure; records that professional consultants commissioned by the residents to look at the likely safety implications of the closure have put forward safer alternatives, but that these have been rejected for no good reason; welcomes the support given by Ealing Borough Council and honourable Members from both sides of this House to local traders fighting the closure; welcomes the decision of the Secretary of State to call in for his personal attention the papers relating to this case; and urges him to give the matter his most urgent and sympathetic consideration with a view to permitting the creation of an access to this otherwise totally isolated commercial and residential area.

This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
