IT has been asserted by members of I Wolverhampton Town Council that the Ministry of Transport's decision to reduce the number of pedestrian cross: ings is an instance of local government being overruled . by a remote national department.
The town clerk has been authorized to write to the Ministry registering the council's protest and to state that the new regulations would undermine the confidence of the public, which had been taught to use the crossings over a period of years by the local accidentprevention authorities.
The number of crossings in Wolverhampton is, to be reduced from 204 to 83. It was commented that five years' accident-prevention work had been made fruitless and foolish.
