HC Deb 24 November 1971 vol 826 cc362-3W
63. Mr. Milne

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment why he has refused to assist Blyth Borough Council in regard to the proposed town centre redevelopment scheme; what alternative proposals have been suggested; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Graham Page

The council's application for an additional capital allocation from the special programme for development and intermediate areas related solely to the purchase of land and thus did not satisfy the conditions of that programme. The redevelopment scheme is eligible for consideration within the county area arrangements for locally determined schemes.
