The plans for the LTC fly in the face of UK commitments on climate change and the reduction of carbon emissions. They are estimated to add 6.6 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. They are opposed by almost all the relevant councils. They are backward-looking, being committed to an extension of the car culture at a time when all progressive and smart thinking on urban renewal is looking to provide healthier and less noisy, dangerous, polluting and spatially dominating modes of transport. Those who have any serious insight on the future will not now be advocating road extensions.
