HC Deb 03 February 1960 vol 616 c982
29. Mr. Ridsdale

asked the Minister of Transport what progress is being made in the preparatory work, so that a start can be made on the proposed Stanway bypass on the London—Colchester—northeast Essex road.

Mr. Hay

A draft Order to vary the established line of the by-pass at the eastern end was advertised last September, and objections are being considered. A further Order dealing with the treatment of side roads is in preparation.

Mr. Ridsdale

Is my hon. Friend aware that this is one of the worst bottlenecks on the road between London and north-east Essex and the East Coast, and will he do all he can to speed up this work as much as possible?

Mr. Hay

Yes, Sir.
