No money for proper roads

UNLESS proper roads were provided the road haulage operator could not do his job. But there was no money to provide proper roads, hauliers in Sussex were told last week by the surveyor to the West Sussex County Council.
Col. W. C. S. Harrison was speaking at the annual dinner of the Brighton, Worthing and Mid-Sussex Sub-area of the Road Haulage Association, and confessed to being puzzled by the attitude adopted by some members of the public who thought that his department and the haulage industry should be at loggerheads. "It is your job to move goods," he said, "and my job to see that you have good roads to move them on. If I do not give you those roads then yours is not the blame for environmental problems." Col Harrison had no doubt of the importance of road haulage in the national economy and deprecated its restriction by onerous methods.
Lorry routeing came in for some criticism fromMr Harold Mould RHA Southern area chairman. He thought that it might be more profitable to spend the money now being invested in talking and writing about lorry routes on building roads and then perhaps th.e proposed routes would not be required.
Even if it were feasible to designate routes for heavy goods vehicles there had to be ways on and off the prescribed routes. These could create more problems than the routes themselves. There was no simple answer to the problem, said Mr Mould.
