§ Mr. Spearingasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has received from the London Docklands Development Corporation concerning major new road construction in its area; and what are the estimated costs of each section of the proposed works.
§ Sir George Young[pursuant to his reply, 9 June 1986, c. 19]: The London Docklands Development Corporation has put forward proposals for a new highways strategy, many parts of which are still under discussion. The proposals fall broadly into three groups, with these preliminary estimates of cost:
- a. an east-west route from Butcher Row to Silvertown Way—about £115 million;
- b. a continuation of that route from Silvertown Way to the future A13/South Woodford to Barking Relief Road Junction — about £65 million;
- c. various improvements in Southwark costing about £11 million.
