§ Sir O. Prior-Palmerasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the work being done on the electrically-operated level crossing gates on the South Farm Road, Worthing, has been suspended before completion with consequent inconvenience to the travelling public in this area; and if he will refer this matter to the appropriate Transport Users' Consultative Committee for their consideration.
§ Mr. Marples:The work in question is the substitution of electrically-operated lifting barriers for gates. From the inquiries I have made I understand that work on these barriers should be resumed shortly and will then take about two weeks to complete. I do not consider that reference to the Transport Users' Consultative Committee would be appropriate in this case.
