27�November 2002 Government traffic 'tsars' plan is full of holes London Assembly Lib Dems today called on Transport Secretary Alistair Darling to scrap his idea of appointing a �traffic tsar� for London and instead give the powers to Transport for London. Lynne Featherstone AM, transport spokesperson, said: �Why is the Government wasting public money on appointing traffic managers? This idea merely creates yet another unnecessary layer of bureaucracy. �Congestion caused by holes in the road could be eased by simply giving the power to adjudicate on roadworks and scrutinise applications from utility companies to London�s existing transport authority, Transport for London. �So-called �traffic tsars� are yet another example of central government interference into an issue which could be tackled by London�s regional government, if it was only given the power to do so.� END Click here for printer friendly version of this article Back to previous page |
