Better Transport

Experience: Richard leads the group’s work on local transport and promotes links with parliamentarians and political parties while leading the campaign team.  Previously he worked for Living Streets, which campaigns on behalf of pedestrians, where he was head of policy and communications.

Richard has also served as senior policy adviser in the Cabinet Office’s Office of the Third Sector, where he worked on the Compact agreement to improve relations between local and national government and the voluntary sector. 

Prior to that he had managed the Compact Working Group at the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), and worked with Kids' Clubs Network (now 4 Children) to develop their campaigns and policies on childcare. He has also worked for an MP at the House of Commons and has volunteered for a number of campaign groups.

Why I work for the Campaign for Better Transport: "I’ve always been interested in improving our transport system so that it’s not just based around driving. I’m pleased to work for an organisation which is so successful in influencing local and national government."
