A national vote for sustainable transport?
Dec 13th, 2007 by Simon
Did you vote in the people’s 50 million? Don’t worry if you didn’t, it’s too late now. Sustrans won which is great. I voted even though I’m rather sceptical about these things (can’t think why!).
Sustrans was up against a project in Sherwood, an extension to the Eden project and a Black Country regeneration project - all very worthy initiatives - but it was a national project concerned with sustainable transport that won.
So, we’ll get a few more walkways and cycleways and some bridges which will make walking and cycling places possible again and enable people to cross ‘car-only’ routes once more. But is that all? Or is this a national vote in favour of sustainable transport - I’d love to think so.
