TRANSPORT for an Improved City condemns the construction of major new roads in the belief that people should be compelled to use public transport. Its chairman, Laurence Spigel, has developed a distinct nervous TIC over the suspicion that after the Greater London Council has been disbanded, the Government will give high priority to a new route across the capital to link Al and A2.
Has he an unlikely ally in T. E. Spratt, head of Safeway Food Stores, who believes that all through traffic should be prohibited from London when M25 is completed? If the store man has his way, Laurence Spigel's battle will have been won for him. On the other hand, Safeway's boss foresees dire consequences from a ban on heavy vehicles at night and weekends, and calls for a public inquiry into the proposals.
There are obviously bans and bans.
