Why cherry pick London where there isn't sufficient space available to
build new roads but M25 widening still seems to be ongoing?

Where is this widening happening, Doug? I can't recall seeing any this
year.

Over the
rest of UK there are loads of roads continually being built or
widened.

Actually, only a few stretches of the M1 are, Doug.


Locally there has been quite a bit of "road building" in reality it equates
to less than half a mile of fixing crap junctions that were put in when the
roads were first built because they were the quick cheap option. (Removing on
DC roundabouts and adding the ability to exit another DC from the other side
of the road without going up to the next junction then round and back).
Despite the council referring to it as road building it doesn't fool any of
us. Other than that there are some small roads being built in new build
housing estates but that's not adding to capacity as they are all effectively
dead ends.
