KINGSWATER DEVELOPMENT, GREATER MANCHESTER (No 2)

That this House deplores the fact that NWW plc and Tameside MBC have had 12 months to put forward proposals for road access to the Kingswater development; notes that with the public inquiry set for 12th September no approval for a road scheme has been given; notes the secret advice of Tameside's QC for the inquiry that a delay of six months should be sought, so that a firm road scheme could be put forward; deeply regrets Tameside's decision to try and give itself approval for a road scheme with the minimum of public consultation; notes that the proposed road scheme reverses the recommendation of a public inquiry inspector into the proposed M66 from Stockport to Denton; notes that the proposed access scheme will have far reaching implications for traffic levels in Denton and all the way into Manchester on the A57; therefore calls on the Secretary of State for Transport, to set up a public inquiry into the road proposals; and asks the Secretary of State for the Environment to delay the inquiry into the Kingswater development until such time as the road scheme has been determined by a public inquiry.
