§ Mr. Hicksasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when it is hoped to complete work on the Bodmin bypass, and if consideration will be given to the opening of one dual carriageway before May 1976 in order to assist the flow of peak tourist traffic in the area.
§ Dr. GilbertThe completion date for the contract is 23rd May 1977. It is too early to say whether the whole or a part of the bypass could be opened before this.
§ Mr. Hicksasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will relax the A30 trunk road classification of the Fore Street, Bodmin, pending completion of the Bodmin bypass, so as to allow planning applications to be considered for redevelopment and extensions to existing buildings on sites in the town centre whose access is on to this main street
§ Dr. GilbertThe Department already has regard to the forthcoming change of status of the A30 through Bodmin in considering planning applications.
