§ 75. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Transport how many houses are to be demolished in the process of road reconstruction and deviation in the pre sent borough of Leyton; and what in formation he has given to the local authority, who need such information for purposes of assessing their future housing requirements.
§ Mr. GalbraithThe trunk road schemes affecting the Borough of Leyton are firstly the Eastern Avenue Extension which will ultimately involve the demolition of some 300 houses, and secondly the improvement of the Green Man junction for which the demolition of one house is required. The Borough Council is aware of both these needs. The line of the Bishops Stortford Motorway is still being considered and it is too soon to assess its likely effects. Any improvements of classified roads in the Borough are, of course, a matter for the Council themselves.
