HC Deb 07 April 1971 vol 815 cc132-3W
Sir Clive Bossom

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to provide automatic half-barriers at level crossings on trunk and principal roads in Scotland, and to build bridges or underpasses to replace such level crossings.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I understand that there are no applications from British Rail for such provision at present before my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment. I propose to substitute a road over-bridge for a half-barrier level crossing at Gollanfield on the trunk road A92. All other such crossings in Scotland are on roads for which local authorities are responsible.

Sir Clive Bossom

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many level crossings there are on trunk and principal roads in Scotland, and how many of these are automatic half-barrier level crossings.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

There are 15 public level crossings on trunk and principal roads in Scotland, of which two are equipped with automatic half-barriers.
