HC Deb 15 February 1939 vol 343 c1728
82. Mr. David Adams

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that road A694, between Shotley Bridge and Scotswood, county Durham is in bad condition; and whether, in view of the un employment in that county, he will give instructions for the requisite repairs to be carried out forthwith?

Mr. Burgin

The highway authority for this road is the Durham County Council. I understand that they propose to reconstruct about 11 miles in 1942 and 1943 at an estimated cost of £100,000. In the meantime, such temporary repairs as may be necessary will be carried out.
