§ Sir J. Langford-HoltMr. Speaker, I desire to present a Petition signed by 3,400 of my constituents asking that the Corporation of the Borough of Shrews-bury he restrained from proceeding with the building of a road between Meole Brace and Abbey Foregate, both places being within the borough.
The six reasons for their objection are clearly laid out in the Petition. The petitioners feel that this is, above all, a matter on which they should have been consulted and have not been so consulted. I am aware that a plan exists for a future road system in the Borough of Shrewsbury, though no one knows at present what its contents are. I hope that when this road plan is published it will show that my constituents' worst fears have not been realised. The Petition ends with the words:
And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
§ To lie upon the Table.
