§ Mr. Miscampbellasked the Minister of Transport what were the reasons for the delay in opening the road linking the Blackpool-Preston A583 road with the Preston-Liverpool A59 from the expected date of opening in September 1966.
§ Mr. John MorrisThe new link road is related to the widening of an existing length of local authority road, completion of which has been delayed. It was considered undesirable to open the completed new link road in winter conditions while work on the adjoining road was proceeding. The road is expected to be open to traffic before Easter.
