HC Deb 09 February 1966 vol 724 c388
27. Sir S. McAdden

asked the Minister of Transport what major road projects in the County Borough of Southend-on-Sea have been deferred by the cuts in public expenditure announced in November, 1965; what is the estimated cost thereof; and what is the anticipated date of their reinstatement.

Mr. John Morris

The works affected were the northern section of the Inner Ring Road and the reconstruction of the railway bridge at Bankside, the total estimated cost of which is about £1.2 million. I understand that the corporation proposes to start work this month.
