HC Deb 21 July 1971 vol 821 c277W
44. Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will advance the construction of through routes in order to alleviate the problems caused by large numbers of heavy commercial vehicles crossing the River Lea bridges in the Epping division and using residential roads and country lanes un suited for such traffic.

Mr. Graham Page

Ringway 3 between A10 and M11 will include a new crossing of the River Lea ; investigations to decide the most suitable line are proceeding. The North Circular Road is also due to be comprehensively improved. Construction dates can be decided only when preparation has reached a more advanced stage.
