Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

IE Freight Transport Association is objecting strongly to two parate lorry bans at King's Lynn and Enfield/Barnet.

Norfolk County Council has d FTA that it now hopes to go ead with plans to prohibit ods vehicles (over three ton laden weight) from using the ntral route through King's nn between 5am and 9am and tween 4pm and 8pm. There. -eady are two separate zonal Ins in the town.

Dock traffic will be forced to e the by-pass if the new heme goes through which luld, says FTA, add nine miles to some journeys.

A similar problem exists rther south where the Greater )ndon Council has officially insulted the Association on ans to introduce a major lorry in in Enfield and Barnet. The heme would coincide with the )mpletion of the Al to A10 sec tion of the M25 in July, 1981.

The area is bounded by the North Circular Road (A406), the Al, A10 and M25 (between Al and A10) and while the FTA does not agree with the ban, it admits that some roads in the area are unsuitable for heavy goods traffic. Some local journeys could be increased fourfold it says.
