HC Deb 25 May 1966 vol 729 cc106-7W
95. Sir D. Kaberry

asked the Minister of Transport if she will arrange for a pedestrian crossing to be installed on the Leeds-Otley road near the junction of Church Wood Avenue, Leeds.

Mr. Swingler

This is a matter for the Leeds County Borough Council in the first place, and they have not applied for a pedestrian crossing here. On the evidence received, my right hon. Friend does not think that a crossing would be justified.

96. Sir D. Kaberry

asked the Minister of Transport if she will arrange for the installation of a pedestrian crossing between the Kirkstall Abbey House Museum and Kirkstall Abbey on the main trunk road at Kirkstall in the City of Leeds.

Mr. Swingler

This is not a trunk road. A pedestrian crossing would be a matter for the Leeds County Borough Council in the first place, but it has not applied for one. A major improvement scheme is being carried out which will make it easier and safer for pedestrians to cross the road.
