HC Deb 21 May 1973 vol 857 c17W
Mr. Hall-Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he proposes to publish statutory notices in connection with the amendment of the easterly junction of the Lindale bypass with the A590; and when construction is programmed to begin.

Mr. Speed

It is hoped to publish draft orders for the Lindale bypass, including the junction with the A590, before the end of the year. Construction could start either in late 1974 or early 1975, depending on progress with the statutory processes involved.

Mr. Hall-Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he last conducted a survey of traffic density on the A590 between Levens Bridge and Lindale; whether he intends to conduct a further survey in connection with the planning of the improvements to this road; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Speed

A traffic census on the A590 between Levens Bridge and Lindale was carried out in 1970 and another one between Sampool Bridge and Levens Bridge in 1971. It is not intended to conduct a further survey as sufficient traffic information exists for design purposes.
