MIDLANDS road pressure group is highlighting he particularly slow road-building progress in the 4idlands region.
The Midlands Road Development Group, which epresents all road-users, including hauliers and nanufacturers, points out that the Midlands had he greatest mileage of outstanding roads in the ;overnment's trunk-road programme: 388 miles ompared with the best region, Northern, which Lad just 79 miles of trunk road still outstanding in 979.
Said the Group's chairman Alan Clark: "Investlent in roads is an investment in industrial fficiency and economic growth. If the Midlands is .1 a poor state of industrial decline, then part of hat decline must relate to poor road communication."
