HC Deb 07 February 1966 vol 724 c13W
Lord Balniel

asked the Minister of Transport whether she is aware of the impossibility of proceeding with the redevelopment of the Hertford town centre, and also of the congestion in the town centre which will occur if the building of the Old Cross to South Street link road, Hertford, is deferred; and whether she will give consideration to including this in the programme of building before 1970.

Mr. Swingler

The link road is only at an early stage of planning and on present evidence there is no reason why it should be preferred to many other schemes waiting to be done. Conditions at Hertford will be considerably eased by the relief road now being built.
