§ Mr. SpringTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when he expects funding to be allocated for the upgrading of the All from Barton Mills to The Ford; and when he expects construction work to begin. [132539]
§ Mr. Hill[holding answer 25 July 2000]: Funding for the preparation of this scheme was confirmed in March this year.
The scheme is at an early stage in its development and progress is of course, dependent upon statutory procedures. It is therefore too early to identify a possible date for the start of works.
