§ Mr. Charles R. Morrisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will take immediate steps to prevent the Manchester Corporation proceeding with a scheme of landscaping the central reservation of the Eastern Bypass, Openshaw, Manchester, which envisages the provision of a third access for heavy 379W vehicular traffic along the central reservation of an existing dual-carriageway, and thereby creating an additional road hazard.
§ Mr. SpeedThe landscaping scheme proposed by Manchester City Council would remove an existing access for heavy vehicles over the central reservation of the Eastern Bypass. It would not provide a third access. Work on the scheme is temporarily suspended by reason of a claim to aright of access along the reservation.
