HC Deb 28 November 1967 vol 755 c45W
55. Mr. Shinwell

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what amenity projects are included in the improvement plan for the new town of Peterlee; and what is the cause of delay in proceeding with the necessary construction.

Mr. MacColl

A swimming bath, a municipal hall, an arts centre, and a third social centre are being planned. Two additional large public recreational areas will soon be available. As my right hon. Friend knows there have been problems in the past about local authority participation but I am glad to say that there is every prospect of these being resolved.
