§ Mr. Snowasked the Minister of Transport, if he is aware of the concern in Rugeley, Staffordshire, at his repeated refusal to authorise a pedestrian crossing at the intersection of the A51 and Red-brook Lane and that, in addition to the factors originally notified to him, namely, that there is a large estate nearby from which many children cross to a playground, there is a bus stop with special lay-by, a factory, and a county council welfare clinic; and if he will reconsider his earlier decision.
§ Mr. Tom FraserI can assure my hon. Friend that most careful attention has been given to all the factors set out in his Question. I do not consider that this is a place for a pedestrian crossing, and I think it will be found that conditions are improved soon, when the current road works have been finished.
