HC Deb 31 May 1965 vol 713 cc173-4W
Mr. Sheldon

asked the Minister of Transport what provision he is making for feeder roads from Ashton-under-Lyne, Droylsden and Mossley to the Lancashire—Yorkshire motorway.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The local highway authorities concerned have plans for a new road linking Oldham with the motorway and an internal relief road in Oldham. These are expected to be in use by the time the motorway is opened and will benefit traffic between the motorway and the places mentioned.

They also have plans for a Manchester outer ring road which will link up Droylsden and Ashton-under-Lyne with the motorway at Whitefield. But this is a longer-term project.
