§ Mr. Hoosonasked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he has sought the views of the Montgomeryshire County Council with regard to the proposal made by the Machynlleth Urban District Council that a pedestrian crossing be provided at a point which has been indicated to the Department's inspectors in Maengwyn Street, Machynlleth; and what action he proposes to take.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasA traffic and pedestrian count was take last August by the County Council who, in notifying me of the result, pointed out that the criteria for providing a pedestrian crossing were far from being met. As I have explained to the hon. and learned Member in correspondence, I do not consider that a pedestrian crossing here would be justified.
