Council is to have a rapid beneficial effect on London's traffic bottlenecks.
Movement for London, the pressure group campaigning for better mobility for people and goods in the capital, this week published a list of London road improvements that will be undertaken by the boroughs now that they have taken over responsibility for London's main roads from the G LC.
According to Movement for London, the GLC had refused to include most of the 74 road schemes in its programme.
Many of them are junction improvements to ease bottlenecks, and most will be part-funded by the Department of Transport.
Some major lorry routes will be affected by the schemes, which are all due to be completed by the early 1990s. The North Circular Road (A406) alone will be the subject of 14 improvement schemes.
Other trouble-spots earmarked for improvements include the A40 Western Avenue at Gypsy Corner; the approach road to the Dartford Tunnel on the Southern side; and the A2 Rochester Way relief road.
