Mr. Bob Brownasked the Minister of Transport, in view of the heavy build up of traffic on Kenton Lane, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the resultant danger to pedestrians, if she will reconsider the possibility of the provision of a pedestrian crossing in the vicinity of Halewood Avenue.
§ Mr. John MorrisMy right hon. Friend has re-considered this case very carefully but the numbers of pedestrians are not sufficient to justify a crossing here.
Mr. Bob Brownasked the Minister of Transport if, following the increase in traffic on Stamfordham Road through Westerhope, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, due to the large scale building developments of recent years, she will give consideration to the immediate provision of a pedestrian crossing in the vicinity of the junction of Beaumont Terrace.
§ Mr. John MorrisThe matter is under consideration by the Divisional Road Engineer who is asking the Newburn Urban District Council for further information about vehicle flows at this junction. I will write to my hon. Friend as soon as this information is available.
