From the BBC website:
Ed Miliband has said Labour will "change the way the country is run and who it is run for" as he launched the party's election manifesto...The manifesto sets out Labour's main policy pledges, including:
A one-year freeze in rail fares, paid for by delays in upgrades to A27 and A358 roads.
What he's talking about is the government's promise as reported on 1st December 2014 that major improvements to the A27 and several other busy commuter routes in the south would be made. The works include more than 80 new road schemes and the government outlined how it would spend an already-promised £15 billion on English motorway and trunk routes over the next five years.
The package pledges £350 million of improvements to the A27 along the south coast, tackling severe congestion at Arundel, Worthing and Lewes.
Labour halted the Arundel by-pass work in 1997 and rejected resuming it in 2003. The A27 will therefore remain "as is" under a Labour government, despite the fact loads of new housing development are being built, bringing increasing traffic to the dual carriageway.
For those people who think all parties are the same and politics doesn't matter here is a prime example that disproves that.
