The last few weeks have seen a flurry of activity, in the run-up to the COP26 international climate summit which the UK Government is hosting in Glasgow. Cycling UK and our allies have put a huge effort into securing increased funding and policy backing for action to halt and reverse the growth of road traffic, and to invest in healthy and sustainable transport alternatives.
The Government’s Transport Decarbonisation Plan, its ‘Net Zero’ Strategy and its Budget and Spending Review have come and gone in quick succession. There have been plenty of fine words, not just on cycling and walking, but also on many other aspects of sustainability.
