§ 87. Mr. Proctorasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the width of the footpaths on the Barton Swing Bridge at Eccles; what clearance there is for pedestrians when two of the new wide omnibuses pass each other on the bridge and if he is satisfied that the present arrangements are safe for pedestrians.
§ Mr. MolsonEach footpath is 3 feet 10 ins. wide and the carriageway is wide enough for two eight-feet buses to pass without overhanging the footpaths. This, with careful driving, seems reasonably safe to me.
