§ Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is satisfied that there is adequate opportunity for elderly persons to cross the Al in the vicinity of Castlegate, Berwick-upon-Tweed, without the installation of a pelican crossing.
§ Mr. MarksFrom observations taken at site there are adequate gaps of sufficient duration in the traffic stream to allow pedestrians including elderly people to cross the Al in the vicinity of the post office in Castlegate. This site has been inspected on a number of occasions and it has been found that the volume of pedestrians crossing at this point is insufficient to justify a pelican crossing.
