HC Deb 15 July 1964 vol 698 c250W
103. Mr. Holt

asked the Minister of Transport (1) what representations he has received from the Cheshire County Council with regard to the need for an immediate start being authorised on the construction of the A.56 by-pass round Frodsham and Helsby;

(2) if he will immediately authorise a start to be made on the construction of the A.56 by-pass round Frodsham and Helsby.

Mr. Marples

The Cheshire County Council has kept me fully informed about the need for the early construction of the proposed £8 million by-pass of Helsby and Frodsham.

I accept that this scheme merits high priority. It is now being considered for inclusion in the extension of the trunk roads programme which I hope to announce in a month or two.
