Holyhead Road Act of 1825
11.31 The preamble to the Holyhead Road Act of 1825 162 recorded that more money
was needed to improve the road from London to Holyhead including work to
roads in St Albans in Hertfordshire. The 1825 Act authorised the spending of up
to £16,000 on improving the roads in St Albans and other areas. The Act became
unnecessary once the works had been completed.
Holyhead Bridges and Roads Act of 1826
11.32 The Holyhead Bridges and Roads Act of 1826 163 authorised HM Treasury to raise
a further £32,000 for improving the roads in areas such as Barnet, South Mimms,
Dunchurch and St Albans. Once the improvements to the roads had been
completed, the 1826 Act became unnecessary.
London and Holyhead and Liverpool Roads Act of 1827
11.33 The main purpose of the London and Holyhead and Liverpool Roads Act of
1827 164 was to authorise a surplus of £12,000 arising from the 1826 Act to be
used to improve the London to Holyhead road in the Coventry area. The 1827 Act
also contained provisions concerning the collection and application of toll moneys
elsewhere along the road. Since the purpose of the 1827 Act (the application of
specific sums to improve the London to Holyhead roads) no longer exists, the Act
itself may now be repealed.
Holyhead Roads Act of 1828
11.34 The purpose of the Holyhead Roads Act of 1828 165 was to authorise HM Treasury
to raise £36,700 for improving selected turnpike roads in such areas as Highgate
(north London), Coventry and Wolverhampton. The Act became unnecessary
once the improvement works had been completed.
Holyhead, Liverpool Roads Act of 1830
11.35 The Holyhead, Liverpool Roads Act of 1830 166 clarified the toll-collecting powers
of the St Albans turnpike trustees and the Dunchurch and Stonebridge turnpike
trustees. The 1830 Act also authorised certain statutory Commissioners to reach
agreement with all turnpike trustees as to the repair of roads for which those
trustees were responsible. The extinguishment, on or before 20 August 1876, of
the toll-charging powers of these turnpike trusts means that the 1830 Act has
long been unnecessary. 167
