WITHOUT a shadow of doubt, I can advise that Dr Shikha Chandak’s proposal to ban heavy traffic from the roads for a three-hour period is completely unworkable.

Where, firstly, are they to go from the road – on to thousands of yet-to-be-constructed lorry parks?

Secondly who is going to pay for the standing time – the consumer, the haulier or Dr Chandak?

I could go on, but I think the ludicrous idea is dead.
