Hi
Does anybody know of any authoritative historical guide to the institutional arrangements for trunk road construction, maintenance and operations in the UK?
I'm looking to bridge the gap between turnpikes and the situation today (so really considering the 20th Century and, in particular, key changes around the 1970's/80's regarding CCT and the respective - and evolving - roles and responsibilities of the public versus the private sector).
Perhaps there is a book (or a doctoral thesis) that chronologically charts significant changes/developments? I'm looking at private sector involvement today, and want to be able to map-out how we arrived here.
Many thanks,
Rob Bain
