• Hauliers in London could be asked to pay road charges to ease congestion on deliveries under a L23bn plan to improve the capital's transport network over the next 15 years.
The London First programme, the work of a consortium of London companies and local government, claims the effect of road congestion on the delivery of goods and services is one of the biggest problems facing the capital's businesses.
It calls for measures to make journey times inure predictable and is to work with the Freight Transport Association to find ways of managing deliveries more efficiently by spring 1996.
The campaign hopes most of the .E23bn required for the proposal will come from central Government, supplemented by road charges. London First also wants more freight on the Thames and improvements to the major roads into the area, including the M4/M40 and approach roads from the Channel Tunnel and ports.
