THE main problem will lorry routes was restrietirq vehicles "where feasible" sc that they had a minima effect on the environment This view was expressed thi! week by Mr Fred Mulley Minister for Transport when he addressed a DoE lorry planning seminar ir London (full report, page 23). Only a moment's reflection showed that without lorry traffic, the national standard of would be very different, saic Mr Mulley. Railways coulc make only a very margina impact on the problem.
Mr Mulley, who referrec to the Dykes Act as "not the clearest Act of Parliament" thought it was wrong to la) down hard and fast rules measures must take ful
account of loca. circumstances.
Local authorities, urge( the Minister, should liais( closely with the Freighl Transport Association, tht Road Haulage Associatior and the trade unions. At the end of the day, he stressed. the lorry driver had ar important role to play. He should he brought in wher consideration of what ww practical and not practical was made.
Mr Mulley said that the "rather ambitious" plans al the 1971 working party on lorry parking were unlikeI3, to be achieved. The national trunk road network would not be completed until the 1980s.
