HC Deb 28 February 1973 vol 851 cc355-6W
Sir Gilbert Longden

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what pilot projects have been initiated, with the participation of his Department, in the city of Chichester resulting from the special studies by the Preservation Policy Group.

Mr. Channon

We are pursuing with the local authorities concerned a study— proposed by the Chichester Environment Group—of an out-of-town depot for the transfer of goods to light delivery vehicles. This will be valuable for practical implementation of the traffic proposals in the study; and the Department is prepared to participate financially if an appropriate local contribution can be obtained.
