§ Mr. Alexander Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has for improvements, alterations, and lighting in Whistleberry Road, between Blantyre and Hamilton; and if he will give full details of the project planned for, estimated costs, and approximate starting date.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI have authorised Lanark County Council to prepare a scheme, estimated to cost £850,000, to extend the East Kilbride Expressway by incorporating much of Whistleberry Road. A starting date will be determined when preparation is more advanced.
Meanwhile I have given borrowing consent to enable the County Council and Hamilton Town Council to extend footpaths and lighting on the existing road early in 1971.
