Question
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Whitty on 22 July 604 c116WA, concerning the A.2, how is it that the Greenwich Borough Council were unaware that the traffic islands on the A.2 at Blackheath were unlit at night for many weeks, why regular inspection was not carried out; whether the Department of Transport will now carry out a full inquiry into the way in which the roadworks on Blackheath have been carried out without safety inspections; what sub-contractors have been employed; and whether they are satisfied with the performance of Greenwich Borough Council in acting as a highway authority. [HL 4016]. - Will write.
