• The pressure group Transport 2000 come out second best in a public debate on the need for road building staged by the Chartered Institute of Transport. The audience voted against the 12000 motion that new roads are environmentally unsustainable and economically unaffordable.
Jonathan James, assistant regional secretary at the Freight Transport Association's northern region, attacked the motion put forward by Transport 2000 director Stephen Joseph.
"The anti-road do-nothing approach provides huge environmental pollution from vehicles in traffic jams and a huge economic waste of drivers' and companies' time," said James.
