§ Mr. Tom FraserAs I announced on 4th November, I am proposing that the Bishop's Stortford Motorway should be built down the Roding Valley at least as far as the North Circular Road. A draft scheme under Section 11 of the Highways Act, 1959, will be published as soon as my investigations and consultations are complete. There will then be three months during which objections can be made. The "C" Ring Road is planned to continue down the Roding Valley to A.13. The line is already shown in the County Development Plan and a Draft Order under Section 7 of the Highways Act, 1959, will be published in due course. It is also envisaged that a new east-west route will ultimately be needed to relieve A.12, and the local planning authority have been asked to propose an amendment to the development plan at the next opportunity. This will permit any objections to be made.
