Why did the residents of Frinton-on-Sea object to the original Level Crossing Gates being replaced by CCTV monitored electronic barriers manned from Colchester?

0

A. Because the original Gates had a proven safety record. The fact that they were locally manned made them safer. This was endorsed by an independent survey carried out by professionals who also stated that the original gates could easily have been maintained for the next 50 years. Despite this, and objections lodged by the Town and District Councils, Network Rail replaced them with barriers in the early hours of 18 April 2009.
