Better Transport

18 December: The Government this week gave in to Norfolk council and gave the go-head for the £91 million Norwich North Distributor Road despite the council's failure to make an effective case for the road. But at the same time funding for vital Kickstart funding and for pilot sustainable travel cities is being held up by the Treasury.

In the week of the Copenhagen climate talks, the Government is failing to live up to its rhetoric on climate change, locking in CO2 emissions with new road building and failing to support greener alternatives.

We're calling on transport minister Sadiq Khan to stand up to the Treasury and maintain Kickstart bus funding and the sustainable travel cities project. Please join us and tell the Government to stick to their promises to support greener transport.
