EDITOR'S COMMENT
The Department for Transport is looking at a proposal for privatising parts of the road network, according to the Daily Telegraph. The plan has been put together by NM Rothschild, the investment bank and an expert in state sell-offs. Is it a step too far for the public or just what the transport sector needs? Let us know what you think... Answer the poll below and send comments to sduddy@western-bp.co.uk
