Although she cannot be here today, she supports the completion of the relief road.
For that, we need something much more courageous than either an inner or an outer relief road.
The proposal put to me was for the construction of a length of road intended ultimately to form part of an inner relief road.
I have in mind in particular the relief that bypass and inner relief road schemes provide for town and shopping centres.
This part of the relief road is not expected to be carrying more than 7,000 vehicles a day by the year 2000.
Any southern bypass would be a trunk road, and we are also considering accepting responsibility for the western relief road.
The need for the northern relief road is absolutely overwhelming.
We are, therefore, entirely sympathetic to the idea of the urban relief road.
