HC Deb 26 June 1935 vol 303 c1094
40. Mr. JOHN RUTHERFORD

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has any plans for the removal of the London and North Eastern low-level line which, by the frequent closing of the level crossings, cuts off the shopping centre of Edmonton Green from the main road, the tramcar and omnibus terminus, and the new Crown Post Office?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The company inform me that in view of the importance of the loop of which the line referred to forms part they have not considered the question of its removal.

Mr. RUTHERFORD

Will my right hon. Friend consider pressing for the erection of a footbridge over this line now that a new Crown Post Office has been placed away from the shopping centre, in view of the congested nature of the district at shopping time?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I am certainly willing to consider any proposal made to me by my hon. Friend.
