§ 3. Mr. Juddasked the Minister of Transport what proposals he has received from the Portsmouth City Council for a new north-south road passing through the Stamshaw area of Portsmouth; and what reply he has sent.
Mr. Bob BrownThe Portsmouth City Council has proposed that the north-south road in the principal road programme should be re-aligned to follow a shore-line route north-west from Kingston Crescent to the ranges at Tipner. No decision has yet been made on the acceptance of this revised scheme.
§ Mr. JuddThis is at least the third proposed route for the road, and it is causing great anxiety to people in the 12 area. Will my hon. Friend expedite matters as much as possible?
Mr. BrownNo decision has yet been taken, but I give my hon. Friend the assurance that I shall expedite matters as much as I can.
