Couldn't agree more, with Andy that is.
I think it's a great idea to use the current rail system for distribution with smaller depots at certain stations. This would create jobs in these areas and deliveries would be more efficient.
If they start this charging for use of roads during peak congestion times, will they also charge the same for agricultural vehicles cos they tend to slow a lot of traffic around here during both rush hours. And what about horse riders (no pun intended Horse), there's a small group of riders who are on the roads around here between 4 and 6 regularly during the warmer months and they don't pay for using the roads but they sure as hell add to the congestion.
And what exactly have they done to improve the rail network and public transport. I can't get a bus to work, it would add an extra hour and a half to travel the 9 miles everyday as there's no direct bus that I know of.
Money grabbing bastards the fookin lot of 'em. They tax the fuel, they tax the insurance, they tax the use of a vehicle on the road but they don't seem to put it back where it should be. Then you have to pay council tax which they use to repair the roads that you've been taxed on already, where's the sense.
If no-one votes in the next election at all whatsoever, who then gets in??? As none of them seem to want to represent the people who put them there, they all have their own agendas and they are all thinking of what their legacies will be once they are gon.
Anyone else need this soap box as I'm done with it for now.
