HC Deb 05 November 1980 vol 991 c573W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what would have been the approximate costs of (a) the dearest and (b) the cheapest possible ways of eliminating the bends on the A494 trunk road down the western flank of the Clwydian Range considered in the feasibility study of possible improvements that has now been completed.

Mr. Michael Roberts

The cheapest scheme would cost approximately £2.2 million and the most expensive approximately £3 million.

Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether any criticism was levelled by environmentalists against any of the possible ways of eliminating the bends on the A494 trunk road down the western flank of the Clwydian Range considered in the feasibility study of possible improvements that has now been completed; and, if so, on what grounds.

Mr. Michael Roberts

This proposed improvement scheme had not reached the stage where the public had been invited to comment on the options available.
