HC Deb 22 June 1960 vol 625 cc43-4W
68. Mr. Mapp

asked the Minister of Transport what reply he has given to the communication sent to him by Oldham Corporation with regard to the proposed improvement of Alt Lane; and whether, in view of the information contained therein, he will now reconsider his refusal to authorise this improvement as being eligible for grant.

Mr. Marples

The reply was to the effect that since this Class III road was neither a busy industrial route nor an accident black spot no grant could be authorised for widening it at the present time.

I have considered the matter again but I regret that the decision must stand.
