HC Deb 24 January 1973 vol 849 c157W
45. Sir D. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will now announce his decision on the inquiry into St. Neots town map, and his decision as to the future road building programme, so far as it affects St. Neots.

Mr. Graham Page

Not yet. Last year, after consideration of my right hon. Friend's proposed modifications to the town map, the local planning authority requested deferment of the decision while it worked on an alternative road scheme for the central area. This has not yet been received. In reaching a decision on the future road building programme in the area of St. Neots, account will be taken of the results of the feasibility study into a new link from the Ml near Northampton to the Al. These are expected at the end of the year.
