Administrative / biographical background

The Road Improvements Sub-Committee was appointed in December 1957 to examine issues concerning ''bottlenecks? in the road system. In November 1966, the sub-committee became the Road Improvements and Traffic Sub-Committee, when the sub-committee began to consider the wider question of assisting general traffic flows, and to assist them, delegates from the Transport Committee (BCC/1/BE) and the Public Safety Committee (BCC/1/DF) were co-opted. The first scheme examined was the underpass on the Coventry Road at the Swan Island, but the sub-committee also looked at other ways to control ?bottlenecks?, such as reduced waiting times, parking and parking meters, speed limits, signing, crossings and pedestrianisation schemes and park and ride schemes.
