§ Mr. Staintonasked the Secretary of State for Transport when resurfacing of the northbound carriageway of the A12 from Stratford St. Mary and Four Sisters was last carried out.
§ Mr. Staintonasked the Secretary of State for Transport, what is the economic case for his authorising the expenditure of £120,000 on the resurfacing of the A12 from Stratford St. Mary along 1¾ km to Four Sisters; and if he will give an assurance that minimum disruption of traffic flow will be observed, and that this opportunity will now be taken to re-examine cyclist and pedestrian hazards at the Four Sisters junction.
§ Mr. HoramResurfacing is necessary because of rutting and deformation of the carriageway. Unless the resurfacing is carried out further deterioration will occur and complete reconstruction of the carriageway at higher cost will soon become necessary. Traffic flow will be maintained by using the southbound carriageway for two-way traffic. Possible improvements at Four Sisters junction are at present under investigation.
