He was commenting on the Committee £120.000 scheme for dividing the roadway into dual carriageway from a point near Greenleas Road to Reeds Lane. The stretch from Wallasey Village to the railway bridge has just been made dual carriageway.

When the Leasowe Road raiN ay bridge was being reconstructed. the Ministry of Transport examined the question of a footbridge and decided that the number of pedestrians involved did not warrant this. Getting Ministry approval for pedestrian controlled traffic lights vac even more difficult, he said But he assured the Council that the committee had the problem' well to the fore in their thoughts.
