If the population of London continues to grow as it has, this will be the tip of a very large and expensive iceberg. Anyone who uses the M25, Dartford Crossing, Blackwall Tunnel etc. etc. will know just how close to capacity they are. How much will it cost to deal with those? It's all very well telling us that they're building new infrastructure etc. but who's confronting the reality that more people cannot continue being squeezed into London without radical changes to the way of life of its residents? Does anyone have a long term plan for the population of London or are we just going to wake up one day and find things have ground to a halt?
