§ 108. Sir H. Linsteadasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation to give details as to the exact form of road improvement being carried out in Roehampton Vale; when the work was started; what at that time was the estimated period for completion; when is it now estimated that the work will be completed; what is the reason for the difference in the two periods; and what is the daily traffic using this road.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThe improvement involves widening Roehampton Vale from its junction with Stag Lane eastwards for about 240 yards to provide a 45 ft. wide carriageway in an overall width of 80 ft., including the improvement of the vertical alignment and the provision of central refuges for pedestrians.
Work is being undertaken by the L.C.C. which has put it out to contract. It started on 4th April, 1955, the estimated period for completion then being nine months. The carriageway work will be completed by the end of December and the whole scheme by the end of January, 1956.
