HC Deb 25 January 1967 vol 739 c265W
67. Mr. George Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport what progress has been made in the acquisition of land for the proposed Darrington footbridge over the A1; and when the bridge will be built.

Mr. Swingler

The compulsory purchase order required will be published next week. If it is unopposed, the footbridge could be built by October; if opposed—not before the end of the year.
