There's only one Earth you know. In my opinion the "cake" issue is far more important. Honesty, Integrity, Responsibility and Accountability are crucial aspects of sound governance.Quote:

"The UK Government has estimated that toll removal could see traffic rise by six million more vehicles a year which could increase congestion further along the M4 at Newport's infamous traffic bottleneck, the Brynglas Tunnels.
The Welsh Government predicts toll removal will increase traffic by 20% over the M4 bridge - adding an extra 7% of traffic at the tunnels, a stretch already dealing with double its vehicle capacity".
I said at the time that all they had to do was significantly reduce the toll from £6.70 for a car say to a nominal £2 and from £20 to say £5 for an HGV. Drivers would have would have been happy with that (I certainly would have when I was commuting to Bristol every day) and the revenue raised could have been used towards building the M4 relief road around Newport. This would ease traffic in the Brynglas area and hence simultaneously reduce air pollution there.
The problem around Newport is not so much the tunnels (though they don't help), but the abundance of junctions in the area. There are six junctions around Newport, whereas at Cardiff, there are only three. You can't really use the M4 as a short cut around Cardiff, whereas in Newport that's exactly what a lot of people use it for. All this traffic either joining or leaving the carriageway tends to slow the rest down. The problems started when they added the extra junctions at Brynglas. It might have eased traffic in Newport itself, but it has added greatly to the motorway load.

These outcomes are obviously going to be devastating for most of the population, but things couldn't be any better for those who are sitting at the top of the food chain.Quote:

None so much as bleated an audible protest when 20mph urban speed limits were introduced.
Here's a group photo of CCMB's most diehard Labour loving, Drakeford and Gethin worshipping Red Brigade members after hearing of the latest proposed Climate Change emergency pretext wheeze to price them and their vehicles off the roads.

Being selfish, I’ve no problem with the proposals- I barely drive on Welsh motorways these days.
Bobsy, it's otherwise known as salami slicing, gradualism, incrementalism, etc, which is all headed towards net zero energy.Quote:
