| 11. Privatise Transport
1. Sell the Roads
All roads being property they should be privatised. We all know what a bad job both central and local
government does of building and maintaining roads. Private
companies should raise funds however they can, including tolls and sponsorship and adjoining property
charges. Just like the water network, the road network will be
vastly improved. When private, it will be up to these companies, and their customers, what speed limits
to set and how seriously to punish potentially damaging driving.
Once death, injury or damage occurs, it will be a matter for the courts, however the current centralised
and politically driven anti-car, anti-speed and anti-road-building
restrictions should no longer apply.
2. Abolish Green Belt
The Green Belt stifles the development of new houses and businesses. It makes prices in London exorbitant
and causes great traffic problems. Given the freedom to
build as people want, housing can be created that includes green amenities within it. Ask a man on the
street if he wants a larger, cheaper house, or a ring green fields
that he hardly ever visits.
3. Abolish Licensing. MOT. DVLA. VCA
These represent government control of the car industry which is no longer nationalised and should be
freed.
