Letter: Labour will offer transport choices

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.
