Representation ID: 11390

Respondent: Mr. Dennis R Whittaker

Representation Summary:

Whilst the use of Waterways should be considered, in most cases it will be unviable. Railways are well suited to moving anything in bulk over medium to long distances and the existing system should be better utilised and expanded by bringing suitable disused lines back into use. Road vehicles will still be needed to get goods from strategically located Rail Terminals to their final destinations and, hence, the roads serving those Terminals may need to be improved.
