HC Deb 05 December 1935 vol 307 cc313-4W
Mr. JOHNSTON

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that on 24th June last a bridge and a portion of the road on the public highway between Lennoxtown and Fintry, Stirlingshire, was washed away by a river flooding; and whether, in view of the dislocation of traffic which has since occurred, he can take any steps to expedite the necessary repair works?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I have made a grant from the Road Fund to the Stirling County Council of 50 per cent. of the cost, estimated at £1,600, of constructing a new bridge. I understand that the works are now in hand.
