Lack of co-operation from the GLC is delaying the first stage report on identification of problems, which will not now be published until 1986.
asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many people, in each borough, have put views forward to the consultants undertaking the East London road assessment study; and how many invitations were issued.
I understand that the consultants distributed nearly 200,000 leaflets inviting views, placed nine general advertisements in the local and London-wide press, and sent at least 535 letters to local groups. In addition invitations to contribute were sent to all London Boroughs, the city of London, and the GLC and various national bodies and organisations.I expect information on the responses received by the consultants to be contained in the report of the first stage of the study which will be published in 1986.
asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many submissions have been received from London borough councils on the subject of the East London road assessment study.
Regrettably, the four London boroughs covered by the study area decided not to co-operate with the consultants or take part in the studies. I understand that so far the consultants have received submissions from three other London boroughs.
