HC Deb 22 December 1971 vol 828 c397W
Mr. Goronwy Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Wales, what plans he has for the improvement of the A5 road in North Wales.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The value of schemes at present under construction is about £410,000. Within the next two years or so I plan to commit a further £900,000 of work, in addition to smaller schemes which have not yet been selected. In addition, work costing an estimated £7.5m. is included in the preparation pool. This includes a new road crossing of the Menai Straits. The length of the road adjacent to Betws-y-Coed is included in a feasibility study which is about to begin. Routes are under investigation for future by-passes of Chirk, Llangollen and Corwen.
