Private Cash for Public Roads 23 Mar 2012 (Forum)
Part of the solution was to move more people and goods onto the rail network, Mr Cameron said, "but also to widen pinch points, add lanes to motorways by using the hard shoulder to increase capacity and dual overcrowded A-roads". But the prime minister said "innovative approaches" were needed to finance road improvements at a time of tight government finances. "Road tolling is one option - but we are only considering this for new, not existing, capacity. For example, we're looking at how improvements to the A14 could be part-funded through tolling. -
