Wherever possible the Post Office co-operates with other authorities to carry out its road works with the minimum of inconvenience to the public, and at minimum cost. As the Question shows, the operations in the neighbourhood of Nottingham Place were exceptionally complex. The existing plant was very congested and it would not have been possible to undertake all the works simultaneously without entirely closing the streets. I am extremely sorry that my hon. Friend's constituents should have been put to so much discomfort.
