FORMER BRITISH AIRWAYS :hief executive Sir Rod Eddington is expected to back road-user :harging as well as increased spending on roads in his wideranging blueprint for the UK's :ransport infrastructure.
Chancellor Gordon Brown has r.rommissioned Eddington to find solutions to the nation's transport 'roblems.
Eddington's view is that drivers should pay to use roads with high evels of congestion, especially luring peak periods. He believes hat cutting congestion is essential to Britain's economic success. arguing that the answer is"demand management" rather than huge road and rail construction projects.
This post-2015 blueprint is likely to be seen by some voters as a way of raising revenue without putting up taxes.
Ministers will not give roaduser charging their complete backing until a number of trial schemes have been run: these are likely to begin in Manchester, the West Midlands and Cardiff during 2010.
