HC Deb 26 October 1971 vol 823 cc312-3W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is aware of the 50 per cent. increase in traffic in New Hey Road, and the even greater increase in traffic in Lindley Moor Road, Huddersfield, since the opening of the M62; and what action he proposes to take to ease the position.

Mr. Graham Page

Lindley Moor Road, Huddersfield, was strengthend in anticipation of extra flows of traffic from the M62, but it is acknowledged that new problems have been created in the centre of Huddersfield. The County Borough Council, the highway authority, have recently carried out a traffic origin and destination survey, and the matter will be further considered in the light of their findings.
