Sir C. Osborne

Information is available on fatal and serious accidents since 1961 in which dogs were reported by the police as being in the carriageway when the accident occurred.

now provide improved pedestrian facilities, an application for which is supported by the New Waltham Parish Council and the Grimsby Rural District Council, at the New Waltham, near Grimsby, level crossing, which, because of greatly increased traffic, is a dangerous spot for children.

Mr. John Morris

This level crossing is on county road A1098, for which Lindsey County Council is the highway authority. I understand that the Council is arranging with British Railways to provide an additional footway with wicket gates on the north side of the crossing.
