HC Deb 27 July 1962 vol 663 c208W
Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Minister of Transport how soon the widening of Archway Road could begin, once funds have been made available.

Mr. Marples

The widening of Archway Road depends on the acquisition of a considerable amount of property and Orders under Section 9 of the Highways Act, 1959, may also be necessary. I shall need to consider any objections made by interested parties, and I cannot therefore forecast when work could begin. But I am anxious to get on with the scheme as quickly as possible, and I hope to include it in the first extension of the Trunk Road programme.
