§ Mr. Dodsworthasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many households in Hertfordshire have been eligible for the provision of road construction noise insulation facilities from the highway authorities as a result of work initiated by the Eastern Road Construction Unit in each year for which figures are available.
§ Mr. MarksThe Eastern Road Construction Unit has completed six roads in Hertfordshire. Works started on four of these before and two shortly after the Noise Insulation Regulations came into force. The only three eligible properties were insulated against construction noise in 1975. The Department propose to insulate 31 properties this year against construction noise on the A1(M) Cecil Road—Roestock scheme, work on which is expected to start in the autumn.
