§ 80. Sir C. Osborneasked the Minister of Transport, in view of the proposed closure of the Grimsby-Peterborough railway line, and the consequent increase in road transport, if he will now give consideration to authorising the Holton-le-Clay by-pass road.
Mr. Bob BrownA by-pass of Holton-le-Clay is not at present of sufficient priority to merit inclusion in the trunk road programme. Revised proposals for the withdrawal of rail passenger services between Grimsby and Peterborough are under consideration; even if approved, however, they are not thought likely to lead to any significant increase of traffic through the village.
