further tricks up their sleeve" to help offset the effect of serious congestion.
Senior inspectors are now concentrated in nine of the most difficult traffic sectors in the West End and City of London. Their job is to remedy holdups, and if these are of major proportions the inspectors are able to call reinforcements from a mobile flying squad of other inspectors. , • Sir John urged businessmen to leave their cars in parks and use public transport services.
