• The RAC has this week started a campaign to prevent the Greater London Council permanently closing the Albert Bridge, used by about 19,000 vehicles a day, to traffic. The RAC calls the proposal to close the bridge a "complete farce and waste of public money" as since 1972 £250,000 has been spent on making it safe for use by cars and other light vehicles. And after a public inquiry in 1971 the Inspector reported that closure would have "far-reaching and unacceptable effects on traffic in the area".
The RAC calls on users to protest to the Minister for Transport Industries, MPs, the GLC and local councillors.
