HC Deb 26 November 1987 vol 123 c251W
Mr. Patnick

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he will take to improve road communications between Sheffield and Manchester; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The A616/A628 trunk route between Sheffield and Manchester is currently being improved over 7.5 miles between Stocksbridge and the Ml. This scheme is due for completion in Spring 1988.

Local improvements are also being considered taking account of the special environmental considerations.
