IN response to the letter by Mr Bingham (March 12) it is just as well that Chancellor Gordon Brown won't build all 13 new proposed roads.
To avoid congestion this country doesn't need more roads, in fact we need a whole lot fewer.
What we need are more trains to move people and goods.
The country is a very beautiful place, let's not ruin it with more roads and more pollution.
I should be happy to see none of the eight new proposed roads built at all.
If the money were put back into rail services then this country would solve numerous problems.
Road rage would drop, congestion would decrease and goods would travel to their destinations faster.
