§ 93. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Transport when it is intended to reconstruct and re-route the approaching roads to Whipps Cross, Leyton; how long it is estimated this will take; and what extent traffic in cars and heavy vehicles has increased at Whipps Cross during the past five years.
§ Mr. MarplesThe borough councils of Leyton and Walthamstow, as the highway authorities, are considering improvements to these roads. Until firm proposals are put to me, I cannot say when the work will be started or how long it will take. The traffic figures requested are not available, but traffic on Lea Bridge Road increased by 58 per cent. between 1954 and 1963.
