§ 60. Mr. REMERasked the Minister of Transport if his attention has been called to the condition of the road known as Bunkers Hill, in the urban district of Bredbury and Romiley; if he is aware that this arterial road, owing to a subsidence, has collapsed and is now closed to all traffic; that the only approach from important areas to this urban district is by diversion of the traffic four miles round; that the Cheshire county council surveyor has advised that it is useless to rebuild the road and that the only remedy is the construction of a new road down the valley; and what steps he is taking to secure that this work shall be undertaken at the earliest possible moment?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Pybus)The need for economy in road expenditure makes it very difficult to give grants even to work of this character, but I am looking further into this particular scheme.
