PAA SCHEME to speed-up traffic flow between London and London Airport was announced on Tuesday by the Ministry of Transport. Work will start soon on the reconstruction, with dual carriageways and pedestrian subways, of one mile of the Bath Road (A4 between Cranford Hall Garage and Henlys Corner, where A4 is joined by A30).
Middlesex County Council, acting as• agents of the Ministry, have been authorized to accept the tender of William Old, Ltd., amounting to £140,000, for the work. The new roadworks form part of a £500,000 road improvement scheme for the Bath Road, between Henlys Corner and London Airport.
GLASGOWMAN GETS B LICENCE BECAUSE the movement of caravans over 20 ft. long required a more suitable vehicle, a Glasgow operator was last week granted a new B licence for an articulated vehicle of a total unladen weight of 7 tons by the Scottish Licensing Authority, Mr. W. F. Quin. The normal user was for the carriage of caravan trailers and ancillary equipment to and from destinations in Scotland, England and Wales.
Mr. Quin was told that there was only one vehicle in the Glasgow area at present that was suitable for the haulage of the longer caravans.
"UNFAIR" TO HIGHWAY , AUTHORITIES
