Campaign groups are pushing the government to cancel major road building schemes like the Lower Thames Crossing, suggesting funds could be better allocated to rail and public transport.
The Treasury's calculations indicate that road building schemes, particularly the Lower Thames Crossing, are inefficient and could redirect funding to more valuable rail projects.
Campaign for Better Transport estimates show that scrapping the Lower Thames Crossing along with other road upgrades could lead to savings of 10.5 billion pounds.
Transport Secretary Louise Haigh is reviewing the Department for Transport’s budget ahead of the October budget, aiming to address a significant financial shortfall.
