We sincerely hope that the Government, if they receive favourable
replies to the Report, will act quickly. The traffic in the London streets now is surely a plain enough warning to anybody of what is likely to happen within a very few years if the matter is not taken in hand immedi- ately. And the problem of the bridges cannot be dissociated from the plans for pooling and controlling transport. Frankly we regard with dismay the delay which has followed the publication of the Report of the Lee Commission. The Government say that they are anxiously awaiting the report of their expert engineers on the feasibility of the proposed Charing Cross Bridge. In ordinary circumstances that would be a good enough answer, but the truth is- that the new bridge at Charing Cross will have to be built whatever happens. * * * *
