Commenting on the Government’s £149million plans to tackle "pinch-points" on the road network, Friends of the Earth’s Transport Campaigner Tony Bosworth said:
“Alistair Darling’s new road schemes are just another misplaced sticking plaster on the gaping wound of Britain’s transport crisis. Things are going to get worse until the Government realises that providing more road-space is not the answer. Mr Darling is putting his trust in ideas that have failed in the past and will fail again in the future. It’s high time for the Government – from Tony Blair down –to accept that road-building is not the answer and put enough money and effort into providing the high-quality alternatives to the car that are really needed”.
