Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Mr. David Shaw, dated 2 April 1996:
The Secretary of State for Transport has asked me to reply to your recent question asking what progress is being made on the completion and tidying up of the A20 roadworks in and around the Aycliffe area; and if he will make a statement on the proposed new car park for residents.The tenders for a contract to complete and tidy up the A20 roadworks were returned on 29 March. We expect work to commence this month.The proposed new car park is a Dover District Council scheme which the Highways Agency has agreed to include in the contract subject to the Council's agreement to meet the additional cost.
