Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 27 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Streetscape and Highways Design Bill.


Streetscape and Highways Design Bill

My hon. Friend knows that London local authorities receive parcels of money for specific uses from Transport for London. For example, a London local authority will get a parcel of money for red tarmacking a carriageway or speed bumps, and because the money cannot be used for any other purpose, the authority will look for somewhere to put speed bumps when it possibly did not intend to have them. That takes away decision making from local authorities.
