HC Deb 28 June 1955 vol 543 c19W
Mr. Lucas

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether the acquisition of property scheduled for demolition in Brentford and Chiswick under the Cromwell Road Extension Plan is now complete; and how many houses are involved in this borough.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Along the line of the new road in Brentford and Chiswick, fifty-seven houses will be demolished and have already been acquired. To make space away from the road for new schools to replace the old once affected by the road scheme, it is probable that some sixty-eight more family dwellings in the borough will have to be demolished, under arrangements which are being worked out with the education and housing authorities. Two properties in the borough other than houses have already been acquired for demolition, and negotiations are in progress to acquire eight more such properties.
