A66 Transpennine project, Warcop to Brough section, TR010062 1 I support points made by others making representations as interested parties from the Warcop to Brough section, that the road should go to the NORTH of the current road, not to the south. 2 Our communications from National Highways contain no record of discussion with the Ministry of Defence about the possibility of taking the route of this section to the north of the present A66. 3 In the 1980s a similar choice occurred for the A30 Okehampton bypass between farmland and land in military use: the latter was chosen after a debate in parliament.
