HC Deb 21 February 1979 vol 963 cc222-3W
43. Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he is satisfied with pedestrian crossing facilities on Didsbury Road, Heaton Mersey, Stock- port; and if they achieve the safety promised when the widening of that road was proposed.

Mr. Horam

The responsibility for ensuring that there are satisfactory pedestrian crossing facilities on Didsbury Road is a matter for Greater Manchester county council as the local highway authority. The Department has, however, approved an application for the provision of a pelican crossing and it is now for the county council to see to its installation.
