HC Deb 18 May 1931 vol 252 c1608W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Transport if his attention has been called to the dangerous character of the road between Erith and Bexley Heath; and whether, in view of the development of Barnehurst and the Bexley Heath area, he will take steps to have the sides of the road paved for pedestrians?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

My attention has not been called to the condition of this road since my hon. Friend's previous question in February of last year. I understand, however, that the road is being widened to 50 feet as building development takes place, and that land which is added to the highway from time to time is made available for the use of pedestrians. Also that the urban district council are now carrying out necessary repairs to the existing footway on the west side of the road.
