§ 65. Sir J. Langford-Holtasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that, although a school crossing patrol and road signs exist, the school managers of St. Michael's Street School, Shrewsbury, are of the opinion that the inadequacy of these precautions and the speed of traffic along the main trunk road are a danger to children at the school; and whether he will cause a pedestian crossing, with or without lights, to be made.
§ Mr. Tom FraserI appreciate the hon. Member's concern for the safety of the children, but a pedestrian crossing must be justified by the aggregate volume of traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian. In this case the volume is far from sufficient.
