HC Deb 19 April 1971 vol 815 c352W
Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment in view of the frequency of the damage by large vehicles, what early steps he proposes to take to protect the Strand Gate on the Folkestone-Honiton trunk road at Winchelsea.

Mr. Graham Page

A through route avoiding Strand Gate is already sign-posted, and recently the problem has been discussed in detail with the mayor and the chairman of the parish council. If it proves possible to make the proposed Order changing the trunk route, it will be in the power of the county council to ban large vehicles from the Strand Gate route.
