HC Deb 25 March 1968 vol 761 c196W
Sir N. Cooper-Key

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether he is aware of local concern about the architectural style of the proposed new Balslow Automatic Telephone Exchange at Harrow Lane, Hastings; and whether he will make available for local public inspection the proposed design before any commitment is made to the building of the exchange, in view of the fact that it will be sited within a few feet of existing bungalows.

Mr. Mellish

This is a scheme, approved in principle by the local planning authority, for extending the existing telephone exchange. Apart from one letter last June from the Ratepayers' Association, which was referred to the planning authority, neither my Department nor the Post Office has received any representations. The hon. Member may like to consult the planning authority about their making the plans available for public inspection.
