§ Mr. Gregoryasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) what consultations he has had with and what representations have been made by the County Borough of Stockport and neighbouring authorities concerned with the proposed realignment of the A6 roadway;
(2) what action has been taken in amending thet own map of Stockport, particularly regarding the realignment of the A6 roadway; what provision he will make for public inquiry into any objections to properties affected by such proposed revisions and routes; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThe Stockport County Borough Council have prepared a review of their town map which, I understand, will include proposals for the realignment of the A6, and which I expect to be submitted shortly to my right hon. Friend. The review would be put on deposit, an opportunity provided for making objections and, if necessary, a public inquiry held. Where there are objections which are not withdrawn, an inquiry or hearing is always held.
Technical officers of the Department have had informal discussions about the realignment of the A6 with officers of Stockport County Borough and neighbouring authorities: there have been no formal consultations, and no representations from any of those authorities.
