SIR: One night last week the BEN hoardings read 'Bolton roads not big enough for new HGV's'.
Having read the article concerned, about the new 40 tonne Heavy Goods Vehicles due to thunder along our streets in less than three years, I wonder if a better headline might not be 'New HGV's too big for Bolton roads!'
Is there no end to the increase in traffic we have to put up with, despite the accidents, the pollution and the destruction of town life it causes?
