ROAD haulage has been the first important
industry to put its case to the South East Region Economic Planning Council, its chairman, Mr. Maurice Hackett, told RHA Southern area members in Reading on Monday. Ideas put to him by the Association included the need for lorry parks and bunkering in large towns.
Communications would play a basic part in the council's general strategy, said Mr. Hackett. Without an extraordinary increase in expenditure roads could not be made completely adequate for the many uses expected of them.
RHA chairman, Mr. P. H. R. Turner, recalled that the London Traffic Advisory Committee, of which he was a member, had advocated consistently that every new industrial area should have parking accommodation for lorries and that all industrial premises should have adequate space for loading and unloading.
