Give your views on the Spending Review - deadline is TOMORROW - Sunday 9th Feb. This is a great chance to urge the Treasury to prioritise spending on public transport and active travel, and not expensive new roads.

We've been quoted in an article about the Lower Thames Crossing in The Times. Delays in bringing a solution forward is due to National Highways' incompetence. Read about many of the schemes failings in this expert report by Dr Colin Black
Transport Action Network, a campaigning group, disputes the economic benefit, and says better options had not been considered: 🗣️ “The people tasked with solving the problem are the National Highways agency. The only thing they know about is highways,” says director Chris Todd

Our goal of building the UK’s greenest road is at the heart of every decision we make. This year's #LowerThamesCrossing sustainability report outlines what we have accomplished so far, and what lies ahead in our #sustainability mission. Read our report:

"Everyone will end up paying the price if the Lower Thames Crossing goes ahead with private finance... 7 years of delays while it is built, for only 5 years relief at Dartford, with tolls increasing at both crossings to pay back investors.”- @ecochris_todd
