Letter: Labour will offer transport choices
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I read your article ("Motorways will grind to a halt in 20 years", 2 March) with interest. If the Government's do-nothing policy continues, they will bring much of the country to a standstill. They have made a mess of our transport system, consistently failing to invest in any alternative modes of transport, such as rail, cycling and the two feet we are blessed with. The next Labour government will seek to develop and implement an overall transport strategy, creating an infrastructure that will give people transport choices, rather than forcing people to sit in exhaust -filled cars on cracked and broken roads.
