nope some of those paper headlines what you can see in the write up stateting that roads are going to be leased.

Reputable ones said it would be leased the guardian saying roads will be leased. So did the financial times.

There seems to be two policies one which will create some new roads from private sector. Another reported by the other papers to lease existing road stock.

Either way its madness expect our lories transporting vital FOOD to pay more.

Lets wait till carnage comes along tomorrow.

They going to lease the stock toll it net result EVERYTHING GOES UPPPPP. Its not just new roads which will be tolled there getting rid existing road network to private hands.

There people now struggling financially they cant afford things going up. We goto try make the country cheaper to live by reducing value housing. driving prices down. All we seeing is policies which will make this country living standards skyrocket. We cant afford another housing boom we cant afford food to go up.

Dear britian going to get alot dearer very soon if this hairbrained idea shoved through.

Wake up martyh open your eyes.
