British roads 'unfit for purpose'

BBC News investigates the findings of Towards Better Transport.

"Britain's transport infrastructure is "not fit for purpose", according to the Policy Exchange think tank."

"It said Britain has the most congested roads, the fewest motorways and "some of the worst public transport" among leading industrialised countries."

"But in a report, it said "relatively small" road charging on congestion hotspots would soon fund improvements."
