BAD ROADS DELAY TRANSPORT
MEMBERS of the Industrial Association of Wales and Monmouthshire are concerned about delays in transport between South Wales and the Midlands. The Association last week agreed unanimously to support the scheme of Mr. C. T. Brunner, of the British Road Federation, for the development of road communications between the Midlands and the west of England and Wales: OT.U.C. VERSUS B.T.C. PPOSITION to the British Transport Commission's proposals to remove anomalies in fares on London Transport's road and rail services and
, on the 'suburban railways is likely to be keen. The T.U.C. has decided to object to the scheme, on the ground that, under present conditions, the proposals seem likely to be more a disadvantage than an advantage.
London County Council is also to fight the Commission's plan. particularly as it will help to increase revenue.
