§ Mr. Lathamasked the Minister of Transport (1) what representations his regional office in Nottingham has received from Mountsorrel residents about the various proposals which it has put forward for improvements to the A6 road in Mountsorrel; what reply has been sent; and what action he now envisages;
231W(2) what is the current position regarding the proposal for a bypass of the A6 road around Mountsorrel and Quorn, Leicestershire, in view of the studies which he previously set in motion; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeIn November 1979 I received through the Leicestershire county council, our agents, a petition from the Mountsorrel action group calling for a bypass for Mountsorrel and Quorn. Our regional controller informed the secretary of the group that, as a result of a recent traffic survey, further studies were now being carried out by the county council. These have now been completed and I expect to receive a report very soon.
I shall then consider whether a scheme should be included in the trunk road programme.
