§ 56. Mr. Onslowasked the Minister of Transport what he expects the effect of the completion of the Hawley—Lightwater section of the M3 will be on traffic conditions on the A321 and A325 in the Frimley/Camberley area; and when he expects a start to be made on construction of the Blackwater Valley Road and the Frimley by-pass.
Mr. Bob BrownCompletion of M3 between Hawley and Lightwater is expected to reduce traffic on A325 in the Frimley and Camberley area and to have little effect on A321. But the load on these roads is expected to increase as a result of the normal growth of traffic and planned development, and that is what Surrey County Council, the responsible highway authority, plans to relieve by means of the Blackwater Valley Road and the Frimley by-pass. It is not yet possible to say when work on these schemes will start.
