Council Taking Traffic Census
A special check on the volume of traffic using Story Bridge is being made by the City Council works department.
Checks, which are made on the volume of traffic during peak hour periods, will be carried on until the Council is satisfied that an average volume can be estimated.
Council officers were on duty on the southern approach to the bridge from 4 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. yesterday.
A Council spokesman said that the census was being taken before changes were made in the lay-out of Kemp Place.
Suggestions have been made that Kemp Place should be altered in lay-out because of the tremendous volume of traffic using the bridge.
When materials and labour are available, the Fire Brigade will move from its present headquarters in Ann Street to a site in Kemp Place.
