HC Deb 09 June 1969 vol 784 cc218-20W
Mr. Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales on what grounds he rejected the application of Chepstow Urban District Council for an order to prohibit articulated vehicles using Moor Street, Chepstow; and what steps he proposes to take to alleviate the danger to safety there before the opening of the Inner Relief Road.

Mr. George Thomas

The alternative route would be unsatisfactory for these vehicles. Moor Street does not have a high accident record. The road markings have already been improved, and other measures have been taken to increase safety. No further steps which could be readily adopted seem to be practical at present. I hope that the Inner Relief Road will come into use during the summer of 1971.
