HC Deb 11 November 1964 vol 701 cc1020-1
29. Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Transport how many concrete lamp standards have been knocked down between the Black Prince, Bexley, and Watling Street, Dartford, since 1st January, 1960; and as many still left standing are within inches of the roadway, with no kerb to warn drivers in foggy weather, what action is contemplated as a matter of urgency to minimise the dangers that this presents.

Mr. Swingler

Forty-six. All but three were knocked down in clear weather. The trouble is that the road is badly over Winter Keep Scheme loaded. This will be put right by the by-pass scheme due to start next year.
