    Government and local councils in England are failing to take value-for-money steps proven to cut traffic and carbon emissions – despite the advice of the Government's own expert advisor, a new report from Friends of the Earth and Sustrans shows today (Thursday 4 August 2011).  

    The research comes on the same day as the Government publishes new statistics showing that over the last year traffic has barely fallen and congestion has not improved, despite soaring fuel prices and recession causing many motorists to cut journeys.

    Sadly the Tory parties new mantra seams to be "people rely on their cars", without out actually thinking about the consequences of this. Only the other day Cameron Rose use that to defend voting against the 20mph speed restriction. This at a time when we need to be saying no to ridiculous car trips...
