Transport – look to the sea

Sir, – Further to the article “Government urged to reduce car use and road building” (News, June 2nd), whatever about cars, I feel we could reduce our use of lorries by reintroducing small coastal transports. This would have the benefit of reinvigorating small harbours around the coast also. Naturally the goods would need redistribution locally by smaller transports. – Yours, etc,
