Sunday Times - Roadbuilding hits a dead end

darkman2 · 2010-06-06 01:20:50

Doomed to repeat the mistakes of the 80's it seems http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/article7144925.ece So what do we do now. Surely the NRA should be wound up if it has no work to do?

The papers claim includes suspended schemes, and if I can speculate, Green Party hyperbole to make figures sound better/'greener'

Yes, as I said in my stats, "Cancelled" schemes aren't listed at all in the NRA's pdf, but they're on (or used to be on) the Road Scheme Tracker on the front of the site.

If you add all the Cancelled and Suspended schemes, you get 64 - still short, but more like it.

And there wont be 3 or 4 starts each year; 2 maybe but no more. And once the PPPs are all being built that'll drop further.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Like this one you mean, showing an estimated completion date of middle of next week. It is actually cancelled right now and not a sod of it has been dug.
