Lloyds Hill, Penn

HC Deb 27 March 1968 vol 761 cc1527-8

26. Mr. Montgomery

asked the Minister of Transport when road improvements at Lloyds Hill, Penn, Staffordshire, are likely to take place.

Mr. Swingler

A detailed scheme has been prepared and a decision on its inclusion in the firm programme will be taken when an accurate cost estimate is available.

Mr. Montgomery

Could the Minister give any date, approximately, when this is likely to be decided, because this is a very dangerous bottleneck, as I am sure he is aware, which causes tremendous inconvenience to all the people of this area?

Mr. Swingler

Yes, I am aware of the need for urgent action in this respect. We are waiting for the district valuer's report and cost estimates. I can assure the hon. Gentleman that action will follow immediately.
