HC Deb 11 June 1973 vol 857 cc967-8
6. Mr. Coleman

asked the Secretary of State for Wales when the draft orders under Sections 7 and 9 of the Highways Act 1959 relating to the Aberdulais-Glynneath section of the new trunk road between Hirwaun and Llandarcy are likely to be published.

Mr. Peter Thomas

In the summer of 1974.

Mr. Coleman

I am grateful to the right hon. and learned Gentleman for that answer. Is he aware that the construction of this road will considerably ameliorate the difficulties being experienced in the village of Resolven because of the passage of heavy vehicles used for industrial purposes?

Mr. Thomas

Yes, I understand the importance of the road. The preparation of the scheme is proceeding as quickly as possible.
