HC Deb 14 July 1977 vol 935 cc230-1W
Mr. Costain

asked the Secretary of State for Transport, in view of the delays in implementing the proposals to improve the A259 trunk road through Hythe, and the fact that his refusal to reduce the speed limit have resulted in an increasing number of TIR vehicles using the road, a loss of amenities, and possible danger to the structure of old buildings in this narrow road, if he will make a statement on this matter.

Mr. Horam

Investigation of methods to overcome the problems of parking and bus routeing which will result from the improvement of the trunk road have delayed progress with the statutory procedures for the scheme. I hope, however, to be able to progress to the next stage in the reasonably near future.
