HC Deb 24 February 1966 vol 725 c602
9. Mr. Coleman

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what progress has been made on the repair to the slip on the trunk road at Resolven.

Mr. Finch

It is expected to open the road to traffic in about a month's time.

Mr. Coleman

I thank my hon. Friend for that reply. Is he aware that constituents of mine who have a great deal of apprehension about the continued use of this road by very heavy traffic will welcome the reply?

Mr. Arthur Pearson

May I urge my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State to ask the road authorities to keep a close watch on the wear and tear of diversionary roads used as a consequence of closing main roads in order that the pot-holes may be filled up rapidly, for these can be a constant danger?

Mr. Finch

Yes, Sir. I will draw the attention of the road engineers to that point.
