Commenting on John Prescott's transport statement, Tony Bosworth, Transport
Campaigner for Friends of the Earth, said
“We welcome much of what Mr Prescott has announced, but it's
a mix of old,new, borrowed and blue. The new ideas and those that have
worked elsewhere are welcome. But the old ideas and those simply taken
from the Tories - such as building our way out of congestion - have
been tried before and shown to fail.”
“If the Government really wants to tackle Britain's transport
nightmare, it must cut the amount of traffic on our roads, as Labour
promised at the General Election.”
