The N.R.M.A. pleads to Prime Minister Stevens for the £200,000 diverted from main road funds to be restored for road maintenance. Motorists report scarce funds worsen road conditions, with calls for better warning signs and a push to reduce motor spirit taxes. Venice’s new 21 mile bridge opened in April with a royal procession.
