HC Deb 02 November 1955 vol 545 c112W
64. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation when he is likely to give his approval to plans for the reconstruction of roadways, including a dual-carriageway at Forest Rise, Leyton; what financial assistance is to be granted; and, in view of the present dangerous surface on this thoroughfare, if he will expedite his decision.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

The highway authority has been invited to prepare an improvement scheme for Forest Rise, and discussions on the layout are proceeding. When the scheme is carried out it will rank for a 75 per cent. grant towards the cost.

The question of the condition of the present road surface is one for the highway authority to consider.
