Flying saucers boarded from a tower near Accrington, or cable cars slung above the streets and disappearing into a hole in the ground, again near Accrington (which should be so lucky), are foreseen as possible alternatives to road transport in evidence presented against the M65 Calder Valley motorway and Accrington by-pass by the North Craven Action Group.
There is nothing craven about the submission, which is entitled "The Road PollUtion Industry" and sub-titled "And the Should-be Obsolesence (sic) of Road Transport." Section headings include "Subventing democracy", "Political subversion-, "Our worst enemy", "Our second-worst enemy", "Self-immolation" and "This nonsensical inquiry." The authors know all the big words even if they can't spell them.
What is the road pollution industry, you ask. Dipping into the action group's epic. I find it comprises "all those professionally connected with the production of what is the most EXPENSIVE, most EXTENSIVE and most LETHAL pollution produced by mankind — road surface — and the term particularly includes those in the Civil Service, in the section which, if the public did but know, the public has most reason to distrust and abhor. We refer to all those in private industry or the Government who are connected with road transport generally."
