§ 3. Mr. Hoosonasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will now disclose the route of the bypass at Cemmaes Road as delay in announcing this is holding up possible developments in the village.
§ Mr. Barry JonesMy right hon. and learned Friend hopes to announce his decision soon.
§ Mr. HoosonDoes the Under-Secretary appreciate that for years there has been a virtual planning blight on this village? A public participation exercise took place in December 1974. The Under-Secretary wrote to me on 22nd August of last year saying that he hoped to be able to publish the decision soon. Still no decision has been published, and still no one knows whether he can build. This is an unnecessary delay, which is seriously affecting the community's life in this developing village.
§ Mr. Barry JonesI appreciate the concern. My right hon. and learned Friend's decision is expected to be announced towards the end of next month. The participation exercise brought out strongly conflicting views on the five schemes put forward. It has been necessary to look at those closely, in the light of the physical restraints, before reaching a decision.
