HC Deb 16 May 1978 vol 950 cc141-2W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he proposes to authorise and to complete the construction of a roundabout at the junction of the A428 and Ashburnham Road, Bedford; how much additional land would have to be acquired for the purpose; and at what cost.

Mr. Horam

Subject to the satisfactory completion of the statutory procedures and to the availability of funds, work is planned to start next February for completion in three months. The additional land requirement is 545 square metres. The cost of acquisition is a matter for negotiation between the vendors and the district valuer.
