§ 43 and 44. Mr. WAKEFIELDasked the Minister of Transport (1) whether he is aware of the waste of public money now being incurred by deviating the Oxford-Swindon reconstructed road round a building situated at the junction of the Swindon borough and the Wiltshire county boundaries; and whether he will inquire into the reasons why this road was not reconstructed along the new straight building line of recently erected houses;
(2) whether he is aware that on the Oxford-Swindon road, at the junction of the Swindon borough and Wiltshire county boundaries, a building is situated which, in view of the road widening and reconstruction at present taking place, has now become a dangerous obstruction to road users; and will he take the necessary action for the immediate removal of this obstruction?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Captain Austin Hudson)I understand 1588 that the Wiltshire County Council are negotiating for the acquisition of the building referred to by my hon. Friend.
