From our Political Correspondent
PI.A MASSIVE list of objections is building up against the Covent Garden Bill, which proposes to move the market to Nine Elms, Vauxhall. In the Commons on Tuesday. two M.P.s tried to delay the Bill fatally this session by moving its second reading in six months' time. Behind the scenes, no fewer than 14 petitions have been organized against it.
Complaints are many and varied, but the traffic problem figures in many of the petitions. The Greater London Council and L.G.C., for instance. want more attention to be paid to the traffic problem. The North ihames Gas Board is concerned about the effects on its own considerable lorry traffic at Nine Elms.
Local authorities are understood to be pointing out that local traffic problems must be solved, and the area properly planned, before the market moves out, Much negotiation will obviously have to be carried out before the Bill gets througb Parliament. The second reading has been delayed until next Tuesday.
Objectors whose petitions have been received at the House of Commons include the G.L.C., the L.C.C., the Corporation of London, North Thames Gas Board, Metropolitan Water Board, Express Dairy Co., Covent Garden Tenants' Association, Camden Corporation, Lambeth Corporation, Wandsworth Corporation and Westminster Corporation.
