§ Mr. Monroasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is planning a major link road from Ayrshire to the A74 in order to relieve pressure on the A75 and A76, and particularly on Dumfries.
§ Mr. McElhoneNo trunk road is proposed for this purpose. A study of the696W road pattern in North Ayrshire undertaken by Strathclyde Regional Council shows that any changes would only marginally relieve the A75 and the A76.
