HC Deb 08 November 1961 vol 648 cc50-1W
57. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Transport if he will make a statement on the scheme he has approved for widening Clayton Road, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and name the date on which it will be commenced.

Mr. Hay

As a first stage in the improvement of this road, my right hon. Friend has approved a scheme for its widening for about a mile between Buckmaster Avenue and Clayton Lane. A 33 ft. carriageway with two 6 ft. footpaths will be provided. I understand that the Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council intend to start the work early next year.
