Competition for Road Haulage

lancpudn:
A new inland port in Leeds could remove up to half a million tonnes of freight traffic from the city’s roads and reduce congestion. :open_mouth: leeds-live.co.uk/news/leeds … t-17211070

So, an extra half million tons of freight will now enter the road system in Leeds?
Any aggregates won’t all be for Leeds centre building sites will it? Shop deliveries won’t be coming in this way.
I don’t doubt benefits are possible by using waterways more, but it needs fully integrated planning to work well.
