MOSS ROADS IN THE WYRE DISTRICT OF LANCASHIRE

Early day motion 1346, tabled 19 May 1998 by Hilton Dawson (Labour). Signed by 2 members.

That this House is alarmed at the condition of Moss Roads in Wyre District; expresses great concern for the safety of all who use them; recognises that they provide the basic communications infrastructure of the rural area upon which farms, business, schools and communities depend; understands that significant investment of some ú300,000 per kilometre will be needed to reconstruct these roads; acknowledges that much of the responsibility for the problem lies with the previous government which failed to invest in the proper maintenance of the highway network; and calls upon the Government to grant Lancashire County Council adequate TPP support to enable a rolling programme of reconstruction within a sensible timescale.
