OTuesday the London County ‘—.1 Council approved the proposal of its Roads Committee that work on a Strand underpass should start next year, probably in April. This underpass, to link Kingsway and Waterloo Bridge, will be an adaptation of the old Kingsway tram tunnel and will cost about £797,000. The carriageway will be 17 ft. wide, and normally used for one-way traffic, with ramps in Lancaster Place and Kingsway; maximum headroom is only 12 ft. 6 in.
UNFAIR DISQUALIFICATION
" THESE provisions are surely unfair
I and should be amended," said Mr, R. J. Ellery. chairman of the Public Transport Association, at the Association's annual dinner in London last week. He was referring to the " disqualification" clause in the Road Traffic Bill, which began its passage through the House of Lords this week.
The clause calft for disqualification for a minimum period of six months upon conviction for a third offence in three years on a number of infringements.
