HC Deb 07 April 1925 vol 182 c2054W
Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Transport the number of accidents and collisions which have occurred between motor vehicles during the year 1924 at the crossing of the roads at the Elephant, S.E., Manor Place and Walworth Road, S.E., and Great Dover Street and Borough High Street, S.E., respectively; and whether he proposes to take any steps to warn drivers by fixing notices or by having extra constables on duty at these spots?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The number of accidents and collisions known to the Police to have occurred between motor vehicles (including tramcars) during the year 1924, at the crossings of roads mentioned are:

Place. Accidents. Collisions.
Elephant and Castle 30 80
Manor Place and Walworth Road. 11 18
Gt. Dover Street and Borough High Street. 6 19
The question of warning notices is one for the local authority; and, with the present strength of the Force, it is impossible to spare additional men for these and other spots.
