§ 123. Mr. Pardoeasked the Minister of Transport (1) what evidence she has that there is no demand for an additional filling station on the site proposed at the Five Lanes bypass;
(2) why she directed the Cornwall County Council, as planning authority, to refuse Mr. L. Hooper, of Five Lanes Garage, Altarnun, Launceston, Cornwall, permission to resite his garage on a site adjacent to the Five Lanes bypass.
§ Mr. SwinglerThe Five Lanes Diversion form part of the Trunk Road A30. There is one petrol filling station about one mile to the east of Mr. Hooper's site on the same side of the road, one about 5¼ miles to the west on the same side290W of the road and another on the other side of the road about one mile to the west; three stations in less than 7 miles. This seems to be adequate to meet requirements. This is a fast road where an additional access would be a potential source of danger.
