§ Mr. Arthur Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what prospective traffic densities are being used in his recommendations regarding the character and route of the Ml-Al link road; and what space capacity is anticipated on the south-bound lanes of the Ml between the Crick and Collingtree junctions.
Mr. CaimchaelThe traffic anticipated on the Ml-Al link in 1995 would be about 10,000 vehicles daily, though around Kettering and Wellingborough it would rise to 15,000-20,000 vehicles. By then the Ml between Crick and Collingtree will be nearing the limit of its capacity.
