• Mr. Hugh Wilson, general secretary of the National Association of Furniture Warehousemen and Removers, has recently been adopted by the Dulwich Conservative Association as their prospective candidate for the Greater London Council election next April. If elected Mr. Wilson hopes that he will be able to become involved in transport matters which will be all the more important when the GLC takes over from London Transport on January 1 1970.
Mr. Wilson feels that road hauliers in particular have received the rough end of the stick, both from central and local governments, in recent years and says that local government in particular ought to give greater consideration to the legitimate requirements of road freight transport before heaping further
restrictions upon it. "There is great need" he says, "for properly guarded and readily accessible off-street parking facilities for hauliers but planning decisions seem to be unreasonably restrictive in these cases."
