Chapter 4 states that ‘Parts of the Black Country's existing highway infrastructure, and the motorway network, suffer from congestion.’ Some of that will involve movements of waste vehicles, from small vans, to articulated lorries. As mentioned above reducing waste movements and mileages will help reduce this congestion (and air pollution), but requires provision of sufficient accessible waste infrastructure.
