§ 56. Mr. James Callaghanasked the Postmaster-General if he will install a telephone kiosk at Redlands Road, Penarth, Glamorgan, in view of the demand for this facility by nearby residents.
§ Miss PikeThere is a telephone kiosk at the junction of Redlands Road and Hastings Avenue which is not very much used, and we should not feel justified in providing another one in the same locality.
§ 57. Mr. Callaghanasked the Post master-General if he is aware that additional telephone kiosks are needed on the Llanrumney Estate, Cardiff, for the convenience of residents; and if he will have a fresh survey made and install new kiosks.
§ Miss PikeWe propose to provide a new kiosk in or near Barnstaple Road, making 11 in all on this estate. We22W believe that this number will meet present requirements, but we will keep the position under review.
§ 61. Mr. Godman Irvineasked the Postmaster-General why he has not accepted the offer of an alternative site for a telephone box at Wetherden Hill, Burwash, Sussex, as a result of which there will be in that community no telephone facilities available throughout 24 hours each day nearer than two miles away.
§ Miss PikeWe are grateful to the owner for the offer of the alternative site, and we are sorry that a misunderstanding has arisen. There is no question of withdrawing 24-hour telephone facilities from the neighbourhood, and, unless a more advantageous one can be found quickly, the kiosk will be moved to the suggested site.
