§ 111. Mr. Joynson-Hicksasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the interruption of intercommunication between the villages of Aldingbourne, Oving, Tangmere and Yapton in West Sussex resulting from the closing of the 22W public highway across Tangmere aerodrome; and what steps he is taking to relieve the inconvenience thereby caused to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood.
§ Mr. BarnesI am aware that inconvenience is caused by the closing of the highways crossing Tangmere airfield. Agreement has been reached between the Air Ministry and local authorities on the line of an alternative new route which will connect Aldingbourne, Oving and Tangmere, and I am about to give public notice of my intention to close the roads permanently. I hope to authorise work on the new road and on improving certain existing highways as soon as the order is made.
