§ Mr. Michael Bates (Langbaurgh)I beg leave to present to the House a petition signed by 1,500 of my constituents calling for a bypass of the towns of East Cleveland, Skelton, and Brotton. The petition was collected by Mr. L. J. Hill, of 11 Foster street, who leads the Brotton residents association.
The popular call for the bypass has been running for 15 years and I have pleasure in presenting the petition which reads:
To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Assembled.The Humble Petition of the people of Brotton in East Cleveland Sheweth.That owing to the level of traffic and the need for economic development in East Cleveland a bypass is urgently needed.Wherefore your Petitioners pray that Your Honourable House act to urge the Government to act to construct a bypass of Skelton and Brotton in East Cleveland.And your Petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.
§ To lie upon the Table.
