I was unfortunate enough to live in Kent during the 70s and as a young boy did not appreciate the amount of destruction that was going on around me with the building of hundreds of thousands of houses and roads that literally ripped through what was once I believe was called the garden of England. Once every couple of years I return to the area where I once lived and every time I get lost due to the fact so much more concrete and tarmac has gone down I do not recognize where and when or indeed I have got off a motorway. The millions of pounds of taxpayers money widening the M25 has done what? Why did not someone within the Ministry of Transport or whatever its called now not invest in a monorail one clockwise the other opposite. It could have been done in stages as and when the country could afford it. I fail to understand how further destruction can benefit anyone not just today but in 25 years time.
