§ 97. Sir C. Osborneasked the Minister of Transport, in view of the increased traffic on the A16 road due to the developing of South Humberside industrial area, and the greater east-west coastal holiday traffic both through the narrow and congested streets of Louth, if she will authorise the immediate construction of the Louth by-pass road, plans for which were submitted by the Lindsey County Planning Officer on 8th January, 1963.
§ Mr. SwinglerNo. In 1963 the development plan was amended to show a line for the by-pass, but no detailed plans have been prepared, and it is not in the trunk road programme or preparation pool. All factors affecting traffic volumes through Louth will be taken into account when the by-pass is considered for inclusion in a future instalment of the preparation pool.
