More on perpetual roadbuilding.

Told you so!

"Proposed road schemes

In total, about 200 schemes have been approved for funding by the
Government since 2000 - both major roads and local authority schemes.
The roads progamme is valued at over £10 billion - and that doesn't
include the costs of the hard-shoulder running schemes brought in
because motorway widening became too expensive!

The schemes listed below are not the only road building proposals in
the country, but they are some of the ones we are most concerned
about! You can help us fight these roads, by supporting us nationally
or getting involved locally..."

"The Government is pushing ahead with a massive road building
programme that people don’t want or need. If the proposed roads are
built, we will be worse off (which is why we've prepared a guide to
help people oppose them).

How many times have we been through this? There is very little
building of new roads - far less than in previous decades. Most of
the ones in the report you mention are widening schemes.

Do you think that by simply repeating the same old crap, over and
over, we will eventually concede the point, Gollum?

So road widening involves no building of road then?
