SIR Cranley Onslow, 68, is to stand down as Conservative MP for Woking at the next general election after 30 years. He was chairman of the 1922 Committee from 1984-92 and in 1990 led the delegation of 'men in grey suits' to tell Mrs Thatcher that her position was untenable.. A MAN whose legs were severed by a train as he took a short cut home lay by the track for more than four hours before he was found by the driver of another train. Paul Pears, 27, of Chertsey, Surrey, was 'stable' in hospital.. THE NATIONAL road-building programme is grinding to a halt because of the chaotic state of the Highways Agency, the new body responsible for building roads. Nearly half-way through its first financial year, the agency has started on only one out of the 22 schemes scheduled to begin this year, the A428 Bedford southern bypass. Paul Everitt, assistant director of the British Road Federation, said: 'We are very concerned.

Last year, at the same stage, they had managed to start 13 out of 41 projects.' Ministers are forcing the agency, which was created on 1 April, to cut its administration costs by 20 per cent. The chief executive, Lawrie Haynes, has proposed making 500 staff redundant, closing half a dozen regional offices and centralising all construction planning at one office in Solihull.The road-building delays will delight the growing number of protesters against the roads programme. One local activist said: 'We've been told they're doing nothing on our scheme, but don't identify us in case they notice.'The agency is also well behind on its other annual target of meeting 93 'milestones' - a specific stage in the roads process such as public inquiry or route publication - having so far reached just 16.A spokesman for the agency said, 'We are on schedule to meet our targets', but one of its senior managers told the Independent on Sunday: 'Everything is getting delayed because the Department of Transport is wanting closer control of what we are doing than we would want. They want to approve everything we do.'Mr Haynes, who is paid pounds 120,000 a year, hopes the cuts will reduce the agency's annual adminstration budget of pounds 83m by nearly pounds 20m, but has been told that there will be a one-off cost of pounds 60m for relocation and redundancies.Already more than 700 staff have asked about redundancy terms and managers are worried that too many experienced staff will leave.
