Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

freig complexes. And now, thanks to a groundwork study by the Lorries and the Environment Committee, the way ahead is open for Britain. And, hopefully, we CC have the best.

Wakefield is likely to be the first candidate, followed by London with a GLC-sponsored project at Neasden. But no compulsory schemes are planned. In fact, the LEC, in its report, does not pontificate about answers but endeavours to give a factual appraisal of the situation. Its report — see News Extra, page 20 — is brought out together with another, on direct distribution. The committee's chairman, Sir Dan Pettit, spoke of the freight compl( report as a pooling of expertise by industry, planner: and consultants.

The two reports must be studied closely by the transport industry and local government. Flows of traffic in Britain are changing and will most likely change at an even greater rate in the future. The EE1 will affect the issue; so will traffic management in towns, with possible restraints on warehouse use. Freight complexes, operated by private enterprise ca perhaps, indirectly aid city centre rejuvenation — an provide commercial and environmental benefits.
