HC Deb 24 November 1952 vol 508 cc4-5W
63. Mr. T. Reid

asked the Minister of Transport if he will sanction the usual grant for the widening of the road at Running Horse Bridge, Swindon, as the Railway Executive is prepared to reconstruct this dangerous bridge, and to do this without at the same time widening the narrow 12-feet road under the bridge would be a waste of money.

Mr. Braithwaite

The Railway Executive propose to reconstruct the deck of this bridge. This will not prejudice the ultimate widening of the carriageway, for which funds cannot be made available at present.
