HC Deb 29 July 1931 vol 255 cc2276-7
43. Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Transport the date upon which the Cray-ford Urban District Council, Kent, were notified of departmental sanction for moneys in aid of the proposed widening of Colyers Lane, connecting Slades Green with Northumberland Heath; and whether, in view of the dangerous turns on this hill and of the daily journeys of school children to and from school, he will urge a beginning of this scheme?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

This scheme was approved for a grant on the 29th August last, and the necessary loan was sanctioned on 8th September. The commencement of the scheme was delayed owing to difficulty in securing the land. It is, however, understood that the negotiations have been completed, that work on the sewer was started on 11th May, and that the road works were commenced a few weeks later.
