De-trunking plan will hit hopes for A59 improvements


PROPOSALS to de-trunk the local section of the A59 will reduce the chance of improvements to it, says a council


rC The Government's move will transfer control of the road from the Highways Agency to the Lancashire County^


CT rep o r t to Ribble Valley Borough Council members from Chief Planning Officer Mr.Stewart Bailey suggests that, unless more funding is provided by the Government the already very slim chances of securing improvements to the A59 are probably even further reduced.


The transfer is part of the Governments new dealer -


transport - another feature of which, is to reduce road building and so, points out Mr Bailey, reduce the demand


for quarry stone.
