§ 34. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how 1158 many pedestrian crossings will be installed and whether traffic lights will be erected on the thoroughfare now being reconstructed at Whipps Cross, Leyton.
§ The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation (Mr. G. R. H. Nugent)No zebra crossings or light signals should be necessary here. The central reservation between the new dual carriageways will help pedestrians to cross the road.
§ Mr. SorensenIs the Minister aware that in the summer—especially after the road has been reconstructed—it will be difficult and highly dangerous to cross this road? Will he make some representations to those responsible for laying out the thoroughfare?
§ Mr. NugentThe Leyton Borough Council is immediately responsible for making such proposals, and evidently it has not thought that they would be necessary.
