§ Mr. Michael McNair Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Transport what estimates his Department has made of the increase in traffic on the A34 through Newbury in 1988, 1990 and 1992, respectively.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe forecast traffic flows for the A34 near the Robin Hood roundabout (based on a 12-hour period on a weekday in May) are:
Vehicles per day 1988 35,000 to 37,000 1990 36,000 to 39,000 1992 37,000 to 41,000 These figures take no account of the proposed Newbury bypass as this will depend on the outcome of the statutory procedures.
