Dr. Dunwoodyasked the Minister of Transport if, in view of the three recent fatalities, he will sanction a pedestrian crossing controlled by lights at Dracaena Avenue, Falmouth, as a matter of urgency.
Mr. Bob BrownI very much regret these accidents but investigations show that there is insufficient concentration of pedestrians to justify a light controlled crossing. We have not yet been asked to approve a zebra crossing but we would certainly give urgent consideration to one on receipt of an application. To this end I understand further traffic and pedestrian counts will be taken this week and I will write to my hon. Friend again as soon as I can.
