HC Deb 12 February 1951 vol 484 c18W
125. Mr. Jenkins

asked the Minister of Transport why he refused to accept the recommendation of the Public Works and Watch Committees of the Birming ham City Council for the provision of a pedestrian crossing at Tile Cross School,. Marston Green, Birmingham.

Mr. Barnes

The problem here is essentially one of schoolchildren crossing the road at certain hours of the day and I do not consider a pedestrian crossing to be the right solution. My officers have suggested to the council that an adult patrol would be appropriate.
