400W(2) what further plans he has for cable-laying operations in the Heaton Chapel area of Stockport; whether these will necessitate further major excavations and roadworks; and whether he has advised residents of properties on the route of such workings.
§ Mr. Edward ShortReinstatement has been done in two stages to allow for any settlement. Final resurfacing should be finished very soon, apart from the road crossings. I regret any inconvenience that has been caused.
Other works are in progress or will be needed in the Heaton Chapel area, and I am writing to my hon. Friend. Residents will be notified if access to their premises will be temporarily impeded.
