HC Deb 19 July 1973 vol 860 cc215-6W
Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take additional steps to protect the lives of those who live beside the A2 from Dover to Brenley Corner between now and 1976 when the proposed improvements to this road will be in operation; and, in particular, if he will consider the introduction of some limitation of the number of heavy vehicles which may use this route until then.

Mr. Speed

Safety measures on this stretch are being reviewed pending the proposed extensive improvements. Limitation of the number of heavy vehicles would place an even greater burden on the more heavily trafficked A20.
