HC Deb 01 April 1965 vol 709 c277W
Mr. Shinwell

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will consult the Durham County Council on the delay in making up roads and streets in those parts of the county for which they have responsibility and about which many complaints are made by residents in those areas, with a view to quicker action.

Mr. Crossman

Durham County Council has a heavy roads and streets programme. Within this programme the council is in the best position to determine priorities and I do not think I could help matters by intervening.
