Written evidence from Rod Bowden
The impact of tolls on small businesses/businesses
are two-fold. It discourages free movement between areas. Wales
needs an efficient exchange of trade. It discourages businesses
from settling in Wales. It is a cost that has to be taken into
account. Grants won't help. Sensible businesses look at the long
term costs. Small to medium size companies rely heavily on road
transport. Without doubt it is small businesses that are not being
supported by government.
