HC Deb 31 July 1931 vol 255 c2648W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Transport if his attention has been called to the state of the road between Charlton village and Blackheath Common; and whether he will ascertain what action the local authority proposes to take?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I assume that my hon. Friend refers to Charlton Road (Route B.210). My attention had not previously been called to the state of the section of the road referred to, but I have ascertained that a new water main has been recently laid under this road, as a result of which there has been a certain amount of subsidence. The council have patched the road temporarily and propose to lay a concrete surface when conditions are suitable.
