Roads (West Sussex)

HC Deb 03 March 1989 vol 148 c345W

Sir Peter Hordern

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what has been the capital allocation for roads in West Sussex in each of the last five years.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The information requested is given in the following table:

Year	Capital Allocation for Roads (£ million)
1985–86	8.300
1986–87	8.370
1987–88	7.200
1988–89	7.460
1989–90	3.300

The figure for 1989–90 reflects the reduction in the county's TSG programme as four major schemes—A24 improvements at Farthings hill and Dial Post, A264 Horsham northern bypass and A272 Cuckfield bypass—open to traffic and expenditure on them tails off.
