Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE PERISHABLE nature of the products at Smithfield meat market means that they must be transported quickly and at a controlled temperature. The only mode of transport that can do this is the lorry, said the representative from the Smithfield Market Tenants' Association.

"A complete or even partial ban on heavy lorries would at least double the number of vehicles serving Smithfield, and would lead to the demise of the market altogether," he said, alluding to the increased costs that would inevitably follow.

This would "rob" the South of England of the "service" and "variety of choice" afforded by Smithfield, he pointed out, as well as adding to London's unemployment rate.
