Why We Are Challenging the A428 Road Scheme – Transport Action Network
Transport Action Network director Chris Todd spoke with Babs Michel on BBC Three Counties Radio about the £1bn A428 road scheme and why we submitted an application to the High Court for permission for a judicial review. An extract of the interview is below.
Support our campaign to stop the A428 from being constructed here.
Q: Are you opposed to this particular scheme or all new road building schemes in general?
What we are opposed to is the current roads policy the Government has, which is when we’ve got a transport problem, the default solution is to go to a big road. And that is a problem given the current circumstances with rapidly increasing climate change.
