asked the Minister of Transport if he will object on traffic grounds to the proposal of Leisure Lakes, Tarleton, to build an access road opposite the Mere Brow Church of England Primary school, Tarleton.

The new access road proposed by Leisure Lakes Limited is not within 67 metres of the centre of the A565 trunk road and consequently is outside the statutory limit on which I can direct. From the trunk road point of view, I have no objections to the proposed development, as shown on the submitted plan. In this case, Lancashire county council is the highway authority for the B5246 on to which the new access road will emerge.
