Context

This isn't actually a bound file at all, just some papers tied up with string, but it amounts to the key information held on file by the GLC regarding the legal orders that were published for the M23 between Streatham Vale and Crawley. These orders specifically stop part-way up the railway line between Mitcham Common and Streatham Vale, leaving the northern terminus of the motorway an unresolved question, since the GLC had yet to finalise its motorway plans in South London; later orders were published to continue the route to its terminus and to cover the adjoining section of Ringway 2.

Included here are the letter summarising the results of the public inquiry and inspector's report, and announcing the publication of orders; the SI itself, which is extremely short and refers to deposited plans; a bundle of said deposited plans, showing just the centre line of the road as is standard; and the inspector's report about the public inquiry, which makes up the bulk of the paperwork.
