Do you think that in order to make such a judgement TfL should have at least taken and examined MonoMetro's assessment material?

Now that the Government have again rejected the idea of funding the A406 expansion to six lanes, will you return to your original decision that this scheme would "generate further traffic, be delivered at a very high cost, require a public inquiry and take many years to complete"?

Are you also aware that in the six weeks it was briefly...
