FOUR NEW road schemes, aimed at reducing the nuisance from lorry traffic, have been added to next year's road programme.
Transport Secretary Norman Fowler says that a start should be made in 1982 on the A6 Chapel-en-le-Frith/Whalley Bridge by-pass to which the Armitage report drew particular attention.
