§ Mr. Arnoldasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will give his detailed reasons for rejecting the proposals for the line of route of the proposed A6(M) Stockport north-south bypass submitted by Offerton community council.
§ Mrs. ChalkerI announced last August that the proposed blue route is preferred because it fits better into the existing land form and has a less damaging impact on the environment. It would also be more expensive and environmentally damaging to link the Offerton community council's alternative to the A6 in the Stepping Hill area.
