asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now authorise the provision of a pedestrian crossing in Ballard's Road, Dagenham, near the Leys Baths, in view of the large number of children and adults desiring to cross there.

The provision of a crossing at this point does not seem to be justified. There are two school-crossing patrols operating in the vicinity. Traffic signals are to be installed at the nearby Oval Road North junction and the breaks they create in the traffic flow will make it easier for pedestrians to cross at Leys Baths.
