Eastern Avenue (Extension)

HC Deb 29 July 1959 vol 610 c76W

56. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what consideration has been given to alternative schemes submitted to his Department in respect of the projected extension of Eastern Avenue through the Borough of Leyton; and what possibility there now is of one of those alternative schemes being adopted.

Mr. Nugent

The investigation of an alternative to the advertised line for the Eastern Avenue extension is still proceeding, but a final decision on the route to be adopted cannot be made until a public inquiry has been held.

Mr. Ernest Davies

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether the final stage of the Eastern Avenue extension beyond Wanstead station has now been decided upon; and if he will place the plans in the Library.

Mr. Watkinson

I regret that the plans for this extension are not yet sufficiently definite to enable me to make them public.
