Default Stop the trials of Longer Lorries

are people who oppose longer lorries happy to pay more for their
shopping?


If they were told how much more, they could make a decision.

I note that there are many quite heavy or bulky items on sale in shops
for sums in the region of 10p. Unless they are sold at a loss, that
price includes the shipping cost, which may therefore be less per item
(and therefore susceptible to a lower price increase) than the
doom-mongers suggest.
