Road Traffic (Huddersfield) (Hansard, 9 February 1973)

HC Deb 09 February 1973 vol 850 c208W 208W

§ Mr. Lomas
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will propose lorry routes which bypass Huddersfield.

§ Mr. Peyton
No. This is for the local authority, but my present advice is that lorries should be routed on to the primary network avoiding sensitive areas where possible.

§ Mr. Lomas
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now visit Huddersfield to discuss traffic problems with local officials.

§ Mr. Peyton
The opening, in December, of the section of M62 from Outlane to Ainleys reduced the volume of through traffic. The adjoining section from Ainleys to Chain Bar will afford further relief.
