§ Sir A. Hurdasked the Minister of Transport when he expects to make an 106W Order restricting heavy traffic through Ashampstead as requested by the Berkshire County Council, and why the local legal procedure which appears to have been completed on 26th January last was not followed by prompt action.
§ Mr. MarplesThe Order made by the county council relates to four separate lengths of road. I am not satisfied about the inclusion of one of them and am making further inquiries. I have now informed the council that the proposals relating to the other roads, including the one through Ashampstead, are acceptable to me.
