NEXT year both the Lancaster and Preston by-passes will be open—yet the road linking them will not he completed until 1962. This was pointed out last week by the Roads Campaign Council, who described it as "an appalling indictment" of Ministry of Transport
policy. ,
They quoted the Chief Constable of Lancashire as saying that up to six. miles of congestion could be expected every day on each side of Broughton village because the connecting road would be almost impassable. Lancashire County Council's warnings had been ignored.
"In all future mOtorway construction, such situations must not be allowed to
arise," said the Council. Now that the Government are at last prepared to allocate some expenditure for road building, the money must be spent sensibly."
NORMAL USER AMENDED
A SKING for their three-vehicle A 4--). licence to be rnnewed at Preston, last week, T. Duckworth. Ltd.,. Burnley, agreed to amend the required normal user from "general goods, Great Britain " to "general goods, northern arid Midland counties." Mr. J. A. Dunkerley, for Duckworth's, said they agreed that the user originally sought was a little wide, so they were prepared to amend it. The company, he added, operated 11 vehicles on public A
and special A licence. •
Mr. 3. R. Lindsay, North Western Deputy Licensing Authority, granted the application.
